I think this attitude really underrates the network effects of GitHub.

I personally am okay making an account on another forge to submit a bug report or patch, but most people aren't. And so I keep my repos on GitHub.

I do plan to soon set up mirroring to another service though. I haven't found a great zero-effort solution to mirror repos from an entire organization though, including ones that are created after mirroring was initially set up. Do you know of any tools which have that functionality? (If not I might write my own at some point.)

You could host bug tracking separately from git, with Bugzilla perhaps?
(a) I spent many years on the Mozilla bugzilla, and it's far too complicated

(b) you still have to create an account there

You shouldn't need to make an account to report a bug, honestly.
Issue spam & harassment become a problem at scale.
