I think most packagers that can pull from Git can also pull from Mercurial, SVN or whatever else.
Pulling from Git doesn't really require using GitHub other than connecting to their IP. You don't need an account or any tool other than Git to clone a public repo.
It seems to me that pulling directly from the primary source of truth is a good idea these days where possible.
