Maybe we need to re-evalute just how reliable #GitHub is.
This is after opening a few projects from search results, reading some readmes, looking at 1-2 releases. Quite ironic that they have issues with scraping.

@csepp been off github for awhile now while i can help it
@henesy Sadly a bunch of tools I'm researching for RE stuff are on there. 
(some of them haven't been updated in years)
@csepp yeah unfortunately a lot of things already made are there and probably not likely to end up anywhere else
though if it hasn't been updated in years can always fork out to somewhere else to avoid more GH targeted traffic
sourcehut works well for me, but i think the UI is a bit off putting for some folks
@henesy I do use #SourceHut for personal projects. Honestly, it's been more reliable than GitHub.
I really wish the #NixOS ecosystem would move to something else, anything other than GitHub. Maybe I should try #Lix, but if I don't want to switch to a distro that I would have to turn into another full time project. I had enough of that with #Guix.
i don't think it's feasable to move nixpkgs away from github, without major restructuring due to the sheer scale involved
i think it would need either a move to a different version control system that can handle the sheer amount of commits or a split of nixpkgs into a bunch of flakes
@kelp What's the bottleneck (CI, code nav, history nav, issue handling) and on which dimension (commit count, commit frequency, repo size, issue count, issue frequency)?
