GitHub and Developer Ecosystem Control

1

Launchpad.net

On the other hand you may find large ecosystems revolving around their own dedicated hosting. Gnome and KDE both have their own self-hosted GitLab offerings. For Ubuntu related projects there's Launchpad. Finally as has already been mentioned before GNU Savannah for GNU/FLOSS type projects. That said, having several logins to contribute is not quite ideal.

CircleCI

While both a feature and integration, the importance is on a larger scale. Automated checks on PRs, deployments, scanning/analysis, etc. Provided by CI/CD helps ease the burden of volunteer based open source software. This in turn helps mitigate the burnout situation. GitHub actually didn't have any CI/CD solutions and many projects used external solutions such as CircleCI and Travis CI. It wasn't until 2019 that GitHub Actions started to become a "don't need another external site" solution.
