It is sounding to me like GitHub is not, itself, an open solution, even though they may support open source. I’d agree if the tooling was comparable, but at the end of the day the closed source tool is better and more popular. It isn’t Python’s job to fall on the sword in the name of some greater ideology while other languages get to pick the tooling that best enables them to serve the faith that their users have put in them. “Practicality beats Purity” after all. You might lament the fact that the closed source tool is the better option, but the right response to that is to make an OSS alternative that is more, or at least as, compelling as the closed source solution and then market that and win.

Or, make a list of the must-haves from the (for whatever reason) controversial choice, and implement them in our own infrastructure.

(Yeah, I guess I'm volunteering to help with that effort. ;)
