I don't see the problem - any cloud service is just as susceptible to failures as a self-hosting server. In recent months we have seen major cloud outages from Microsoft, Google, Apple etc. Even ISP's can have outages. The reason I say I don't see a problem with any of them is because when you clone a git repo, you have a backup of the latest code. It's not a SVN-like environment that requires a server to function. I could create a branch with 10 commits and email Fred my patches. Development continues. So development with Git based projects can continue no matter what. I personally host many open source and private contracting work repos on my own server. But I have automated events that publish the open source projects to both SourceForge.net and Github - simply for convenience and more world-wide visibility.
