The technical benefits mostly come from Github generally being a higher quality product than it’s competitors, both FOSS and not.

Here's a solution to allow contribution via PR while not requiring anything to switch VCS or hosting:

  1. Set up mirrors of a desired repo on any hosting providers we choose.
  2. Set up a webhook for PRs that automatically creates/re-uses a tracker ticket with the diff from the PR.

The workflow does not change for the committer, but it gets easier to contribute.

I did something like this for juju (https://github.com/juju/juju) when we switched to github, weren't satisfied with their code review tool, and switched to something else. We have a web hook that automatically creates a review request for new PRs and updates the review request when the PR gets updated.
