This is correct.  The infra team discussed this some time ago and
since Github does nothing to lock up the resources we care about, and
exposes our code to a much wider (*1000 at least) group of developers,
among other reasons, judged it OK.  Having a PR-based workflow has
helped the team be a lot more agile at no cost to the freedom of our
code.

Be that as it may, there is now pagure, and I imagine many if not all
of these repos will be moving there.  Incidentally, pagure has some
functionality to allow bidirectional code movement with Github, which
gets the best of both worlds.

If someone doesn't like making a Github account, in the interim
they're still free to fork as would be usual for any repo (including
hundreds of projects we carry in Fedora repositories), and send a
patch to the list.
