I don’t think that’s an insane setup at all. Losing access to GitHub would be bad for a lot of folks on HN I suspect. My GitHub has 2FA with Yubikeys and I am planning to do something similar to yours with backing up to a personal Gitea instance… once I get around to it.

Meanwhile, some use github once a year to file a bug report against an OSS project.

Tiered access would be better here. No commits, repos without 2fa.

The post is talking about 2FA for

> active contributors (for example, those who commit code, open or merge pull requests, use Actions, or publish packages)

So it may not be required to simply file a bug report.

It's clear in the article's title, subtitle, first paragraph and bold quote thing that this does not affect someone handling issues and not code.
