Allow me to actually change this in the code. I don't really get github. They hold everyone's code and encourage everyone to share code, but they don't share their own.

This is why I left bitbucket:

Have you tried https://www.gitlab.com/gitlab-ce/ ?

Can I host my own gitlab instance and tell github users to pull from my gitlab instance? And can they do it with the usual interface that they use for closing github pull requests?

Ah, ya, you aren't going to be able to use Github's users on a Gitlab instance. It is like hosting your own copy of a Github-clone, basically. :/

You could write API integration between the two yourself but it wouldn't be that similar.

Imagine if we had to beg Google to fix Gmail if we wanted to email people our own way. :-(

Sorry my suggestion didn't help you, I just thought given your objections it might.

Ya, I host a GitLab instance for personal and one for work so I don't really have to deal with GitHub beyond when I am looking for open source projects.

Part of why my profile there is so empty :/
