The project benefits from the visibilityband community of GitHub and GitHub is completely replaceable with European hosted or self-hostable options should something untoward happen.

given git is decentralized, my guess is github is just a public mirror.

GitHub is using Git which was developed by Linus Thorvald, a Finish and thus EU citizen.

That does not sound very sovereign by the US to me.
