Let's name a few examples of large OSS projects managed on GitHub:
- ECMA (https://github.com/tc39)
- Rust (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust)
- React (https://github.com/facebook/react)
- Node (https://github.com/nodejs/node)
Also, let's not forget the hunderd of thousands of PHP packages hosted on GitHub. While GitHub
might _in theory_ one day decide to stop, there is no way it will happen in practice, GitHub has
proven itself as a reliable platform over the past ten years.
On the topic of self hosted GitLab: let's not reinvent the wheel. Managing your own platform
will take more manpower and resources, which are better invested somewhere else — the development
of PHP perhaps?
I believe GitHub is the way to go. Several large communities manage their OSS on it and have proven
it works, PHP should simply do the same.
Kind regards
Brent
