Wow - I hadn’t noticed that they still use GitHub for their own development. From their long-running migration ticket it seems the project has since grown so large they are basically stuck there too.
Judging by the history on the migration Issue they wanted to migrate independently of the user base - so I don't see how that is relevant to them asking people to trust a platform they don't use themselves.

Open source community in large uses Github because of the user base, not because their own hosted platform doesn't have some of the features.
