I don't really have any stock in this, but *yes* to what this guy said.

It seems very strange to target our software at specific

It seems like a simpler approach would be to support local git
repositories in the filesystem. This would be vendor-neutral and would
support any and all git front-ends like GitHub and GitLab. If users
want to update their footprints, a simple git pull will do the trick,
no need to embed that functionality into KiCad I think. I'm not sure
of the benefits of having KiCad directly query git repositories online.
Just my two cents, please feel free to ignore me.
