Github is a company, and companies go out of business all the time,
frequently without warning. However healthy it may look right now,
this is a scenario for which we need to have plans.

What is your plan for this contingency?

I assure you that when it's happening, the very last thing on the mind
of the people winding down the company is whether some project's bug
tracker gets properly exported and its functionality ported to another
compatible system.

They may well be, but until we decide it's worth the switching costs
to move to a totally different way of doing things, that system will
stay in place.

There are a good many decisions I would make differently if I were
waving a magic wand over a green field project. Neither magic wands
nor a green field project are in operation here.
