This blog might trigger some people. But somebody out there needs to hear it, so here it is. Why don't projects like the linux kernel and GNU/Emacs use GitHub for development? Isn't it more convenient than whatever they're using? Since 2018 I've been using GitLab primarily. But ever since registration forms of hackathons and conferences stopped asking for a link to a place where my projects are hosted and instead started asking for a GitHub username I started to mirror my repos from GitLab to GitHub.
