Ask HN: Is jQuery moving from GitHub?
Consider this tweet by John Resig: https://twitter.com/jeresig/status/459358538910150656. jQuery is his most successfully open source project that can also suffer losing it's community and collaborators. Anybody knows whether there are really considering moving jQuery?

I don't know. Maybe he plans on creating a competing service with Github? Or maybe it is for a different OS project of his. I am not very concerned.
I'm thinking they might be acting in support of former GitHub employee Julie Ann Horvath. Whatever they do would have serious ramifications in all directions.
Why? Why do politics need to play a part in where code is hosted? This is just asinine.
Bit bucket is a real thing that you can use for public repositories.
Why would an open-source project stop using GitHub?
