I never understood that.
For free/libre software, the source-code is already out there. Short of
making some political statement, moving the repository does not make a
difference. Since git is decentralized you can push to any number of
remotes. In fact anyone can mirror any existing public git-repo.
So github, gitlab, gitea, sourceforge, bitbucket, etc are great to
mirror your git repository, provide backups and bandwidth free of charge.
Why jump ship when you can have a fleet :)
