"I'd say that GitHub auth for a service aimed at developers is a reasonable assumption to make."

As long as its optional. I'm hosting my own Git repositories on servers I own, hosted in centers with fat pipes. I know devs working on sensitive stuff which shall never make it to any public / cloud / whatever. There are also developers who are not at all into the "open source" thinggy.

It's good if they conveniently allow GitHub for those who are using GitHub as long as they also offer other ways to login (say OpenID [even if it has its flaws] or good old email/password or whatever).
