Or if one of thousands contributors happened to be?

We already had developer (of Drupal[1]) cancelled over their private BDSM kink (that isn't even illegal, which racism is), what stops some random moderator for deciding he's the saviour of the world and banning random repos just because a contributor might've been questionable?

GitHub can ban your account if you violated their TOS, but I don't think they can/will ban the repo if one of the contributor might be questionable, you can fake commit history anyway. Perhaps they may ask the contributors to change git history if the contributor for a commit is really freaking them out for some reason? I have no idea.

I think in some european countries it is, but don't quote me on that.

I suspect BDSM is explicitly illegal in more countries than racism is (unless we define racism narrowly, perhaps).

Here are some depending on whether they define the repo as hate speech: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech_laws_by_country
