Let's name a few examples of large OSS projects managed on GitHub: - ECMA (https://github.com/tc39) - Rust (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust) - React (https://github.com/facebook/react) - Node (https://github.com/nodejs/node)
Also, let's not forget the hunderd of thousands of PHP packages hosted on GitHub. While GitHub might _in theory_ one day decide to stop, there is no way it will happen in practice, GitHub has proven itself as a reliable platform over the past ten years. On the topic of self hosted GitLab: let's not reinvent the wheel. Managing your own platform will take more manpower and resources, which are better invested somewhere else — the development of PHP perhaps? I believe GitHub is the way to go. Several large communities manage their OSS on it and have proven it works, PHP should simply do the same.
