I do very much doubt the durability of github issues, especially given github's corporate ownership.
I think we should focus more on pull requests, not bug reports, and quick wins, even if temporary.
If pull requests were no longer free on GitHub (which would mean to cut away the prime feature around which that platform originally revolved), so be it. We could then still push the code somewhere else and return to another tool or process.
The benefit of using GitHub would be to get an improvement in contribution tracking *now* (or, rather quickly) without the investment of setting up a custom GitLab and spending the money on additional hosting resources if necessary, or developing a custom Monticello solution.

There have been numerous times in the past when 'everyone' (esp. major companies) flocked to things because they had achieved critical mass and weren't ever going to go away. Visual Basic and Java come to mind.
Java is very much alive in the enterprise and still looks like it isn't ever going to go away. Unfortunately, C isn't going away either. ;-)
