Re:Microsoft Is Said to Have Agreed to Acquire GitHub by Kalium on Sunday June 03, 2018 @08:55PM (#17223594)
You're absolutely right! That's exactly what open source developers used to do. In some cases, still do.

Is it perhaps possible that there are non-trivial advantages to the ecosystem that's grown up around GitHub?

I know I've written and released code that would have stayed closed-source forever if I had to manage my own listserv, wiki, and CVS around it.
