True, but thanks to the API and their relatively simple structure it's reasonably easy to at least copy their contents as well. Linking them correctly to user accounts on a new platform is probably the biggest issue.

Users with public SSH keys would be easy: https://github.com/JohnMaguire.keys

When a new user signs up, ask them for their existing Github username and to upload an SSH key that matches.
