Validates my decision not to use github for important project history. Is there a way to programmatically backup github issues & PRs for your project that would make it safe to use? twitter.com/jesse_squires/

GitHub pull requests exist as revisions in your repository. There are APIs for fetching nearly everything and the CLI tool for working with their API is pretty nice.
Gerrit is dramatically nicer for code review and great that it's all stored as notes in the repository.

We use GitHub primarily primarily for the low barrier to entry for people reporting issues or making small changes, especially since we have our websites and documentation in public Git repositories. Wouldn't care as much if we only had to be accessible to experienced developers.

I doubt GitHub is banning anyone for being Russian or speaking Russian. The people who were banned likely worked at an explicitly sanctioned company. They likely banned accounts using same IPs once they found some of their accounts and then confirmed it wasn't a VPN or something.

Banning them is perhaps okay. Destroying the history of projects they contributed to in the past is absolutely not ok.
