Sounds like a response to a ton of people asking them why they aren't on GitHub - in other words making excuses for ignoring customer requests. I think a much better response would have been something like, "We make sure every public license module we list is on GitHub and are working with GitHub on ways to get everything on there, as a mirror at the minimum. Thanks for the overwhelming feedback!" Whenever I have some sample code to give out at a hackathon or workshop nowadays, the first question I get asked is if it is on GitHub. Tons of people are used to and comfortable with that and ready to go, some may not even know how to use git without it. Emailing source (often blocked) or using links to web sites or repos users are not as familiar with has not worked out as well. Heck, even I prefer it when I use something like the Facebook library, since later on I can see their updates and port them into my branch used in my apps and see other people's fixes and comments on their bugs and updates. Sometimes the first and best fixes are unofficial. So even with a module provided direct from Facebook, the social aspect and huge forest of uncurated content around it is still helpful.
