Keep in mind that crates.io, the main crate registry, uses GitHub as its only authentication method. They may have moved away from git but they're still locked into a rather piss poor vendor.

No, crates.io isn't locked to Github. crates.io uses Github as an identity provider, but there's nothing stopping them from adding more. Furthermore, they've avoided tying themselves to Github in other ways, for example, by resisting all the people just telling them to allow using Github usernames as package namespaces, specifically to prevent them from being locked to Github.
