I just wish a PR and issue tracking system with pluggable credentials had been simultaneously developed and implemented alongside git, so that I could migrate my issue and PR history, or plug them in to multiple hosts.

I prefer Gitlab for a multitude of reasons but since all the action takes place on Github, my Gitlab account just serves as a repo mirror.

Git has always had integration with email, which makes it compatible with a vast amount of existing servers, clients, credential systems, Web UIs, scripting languages, etc.

As an example I think SourceHut is mostly based around email (which it provides a Web UI for) https://sourcehut.org
