Pull requests. Code review. Issues. Integration with other services. All
the social information around all of those interactions, and more.

If *any* of that is valuable, then yes it's important that it not be
locked to any one vendor.

If *none* of that is valuable, then why prefer GitHub? Clearly people do
find those quite valuable, and it is disingenuous to pretend that the
code is the only valuable thing in a Github repository.
