> Asking them to create an account on another service to do the same will leave these new contributors scratching heads Honestly, this can sometimes be a good thing. Creating a bit of friction for contributors can separate the signal from the noise, leading to more meaningful contributions. We're all familiar with the fiasco and annoyance of #hacktoberfest on GH, and the incessant spam in popular projects and issue trackers.

The choice of hosting ultimately depends on each project's needs, as mentioned elsewhere.
