Hm, I might be missing something, but what is the Github plea?

I don't plan on moving away from Github in particular since this is the
first time I hear some doubts. I like it's UI, but I don't think we are
so too much in a walled garden. The homepage is separate, we are not
relying on the release feature. However I would miss the issue tracker
and the CI integration. In fact, I think Github has served us quite
well, but if we would need to find a new home, it should be possible
with some work.

Please expand, why it wouldn't.

What tools?

GH is only part of the Vim project, we are not relying too much on GH
for development of Vim. I have no idea about other FOSS projects.
