As someone who's interested in keeping online things around for a very long time, GitHub's owned by Microsoft now, and Microsoft's needs can change at any moment.
Unfortunately, I can't think of a better alternative for people who "lose interest" in their projects, short of non-profit organisations like Internet Archive or Apache Foundation taking over.
Maybe the best solution is to just have mirrors of the Git repo and pages hosted elsewhere like GitLab, and let search engines do the work of finding the software for anyone interested.
