Thanks for the context. IMHO I don't think Mozilla should have decided to move to a closed-source platform owned by Microsoft.

Thanks to the decentralised nature of git, this should matter only moderately.
Exactly, now they have the best of both worlds: let Microsoft host the code using a standard VCS, but avoid lock in by continuing to use their own issue tracker and project management software.
Mozilla has a lot more weight to throw around in incidents like this. Personally, I would never use Github. Microsoft keeps spiraling down the Enshitification drain.
Only for as long as GH is only used for version control; if they also start to rely on PRs or issues or whatnot, the enmeshment will become worse.
HAH!
