Sourceforge runs Apache Allura, which is open source.
What's realistic timing for getting a feature you contribute (and receive approval) deployed and available for use?
The main bread and butter of GitHub is from private or organizational projects and do not have these issues
The majority of accounts on GitHub are folks like the majority of HN readers - developers, coders, hackers and do not have these issues.
So all these complaints are in a sense not applicable to the vast majority of both GitHubs revenue generating customers and the vast majority of GitHub users.

Absolutely agree! I cannot fathom why people are still actively supporting GitHub. Even if you ignore the ethical reasons, which if you are an open source developer really should suffice, GitLab is better and more customizable in every way. Supporting it benefits yourself and all of the FOSS community.
gitlab.com is dog slow and my code is too important to risk self hosting.
We need world class, modern, distributed bug tracking now. If you google around for this technology, a lot of nice ideas, many using git itself as transport, were poking around, and around 2009 they started falling silent. Why? Because GitHub started up and everyone just buzzed over to it like so many moths to a flame, having learned nothing from places like Sourceforge about what happens when 90% of the open source…
>We need world class, modern, distributed bug tracking now Distributed is the key word. Blockchain/Bitcoin (not withstanding the hurtful politics ongoing at present) has shown the way, and ideally most shared/social things should work in a distributed, trust-less environment in future. Including Social networks and Search Engines. So it is quite natural, that OSS developers can pave the way for shared/distributed sou…

The author mentions that if GitHub was open source, they would implement these features themselves. Gitlab[1] is an open source repository manager that supports local installs as well as public hosting at gitlab.com. If author appreciates open source, perhaps they should put their efforts into improving an existing open source option rather than relying on a proprietary solution.

I feel like there is a great opportunity right now for anyone to make a Github replacement. Sounds like a lot of these features are sorely needed at the moment. Why has Github been complacent?

Deploy on Heroku
Installing it on Heroku is not an option because their containers do not allow the disk access GitLab needs to store and manage the git repo's. source: https://www.quora.com/How-much-of-a-threat-is-GitLab-to-GitH...

I just realized that Persona is going to be discontinued. Unfortunate, but alternatives can be whipped up I guess. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Persona > On November 30th, 2016, Mozilla will shut down the persona.org services. Persona.org and related domains will be taken offline.
We're currently working on exactly that. If you want to be part of this, swing by the channel. Details and backlog here: https://github.com/letsauth/letsauth.github.io

> instead of helping projects This isn't how it works. You don't help projects by pretending the football-stadium-sized issues with them don't exist and using them despite their flaws. Trac is an awful, awful piece of software. It's awful to set up, to use, to maintain, to gather feedback from, it's awful for just about everything. If in some very weird parallel universe it gathered even 1% of the following that Gith…
Look at diagoproject.com's ticket triage. They moved repository to github.com but cannot move issues there. It's built on trac and works. I am sure github.com will take ages to do such thing. Indeed even Python needs to rely on roundup for issues tracking. Now the developers will be more miserable since issues won't directly link to commits or changes which is loss of integrity. Also from a ethical point of view it's…
"I am sure github.com will take ages to do such thing" I have no idea what you're on about. I handled the migration of a massive bugzilla database to Github. Wrote this[1] in the process. The github team was super friendly and helpful in assisting me in the process with zero delays (shout out to Ivan!).
