Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. GitHub is not an open source platform, and being owned by Microsoft makes it more of a danger to open source projects, rather than a help.

Describe the solution you'd like It would be nice if the project's code were moved to GitLab or Codeberg.

GitHub is not an open source platform

@julianfairfax This statement isn't entirely accurate. You can't control what code Codeberg or GitLab runs, nor see that it's actually what is running there. Open source is irrelevant when it comes to other people's servers.

being owned by Microsoft makes it more of a danger to open source projects

Being owned by someone or something is irrelevant. We're here talking now, and if something does happen, the project can be moved elsewhere. Who says Codeberg or GitLab won't change policy or go offline? Every platform poses a risk; being owned by Microsoft or Google etc doesn't make it worse.
