Q for research friends: have you started planning what to do if the US gov't suddenly restricts access to GitHub? Could happen in several ways, e.g., Microsoft has to filter DEI content to stay eligible for federal contracts or a "nothing Ukrainian" rule, but the mechanism doesn't matter: what does it that it's no longer impossible. Yes, you have a clone of your repo, but not of your issues, and how will you reconnect with contributors? If you have a plan, please share a link - thx.
