As a user of Github for 5 years, I’m against KDE moving any code to that platform. KDE is probably one of the few projects that’s stood tall when it comes to holding its F/OSS ideals and I’ve always looked up to that. I think that in order for KDE to continue said standards, making use of something like Gitlab[1] would stand to work better. For those who are ‘hell-bent’ on using Github, they can sign in with it and work as if they were in Github (it has a similar interface).
