Both answers limit developers' freedom of choice. NO allows maintainers to
host package sources on github or whatever, but that arguably
requires future maintainers, co-maintainers and so on to use it too.
I have some sympathy with the "send a patch to bugs.debian.org" view.
Do any developers ignore those and tell people to join github to use its
private version of pull requests? I know I have patches ignored in there
but I don't remember being told to go sign a github contract.
