The problem for me is more that people may try to contribute to GNOME on
Github, and think the maintainer tracks the contributions there. If a
maintainer doesn't plan to track things there, he should be able to make
it clear on Github. But you can't ask people not to put your code on
github. Free software on a closed source infrastructure is still free
software.
