If you're thinking of moving off GitHub, one thing that I have heard about that might help you is you can ask GitHub to mirror repos, the way https://github.com/moodle/moodle looks -- note it says:

    moodle/moodle
    mirrored from git://git.moodle.org/moodle.git

That way any URLs to your GitHub repo should carry on working. People can even clone and pull this repo. That may ease migration, especially if some tools assume code is on GitHub and don't allow you to specify the full URL to the repo.

This will certainly be one of the first features to be deprecated once the deal goes through. Quietly deprecated, of course.
