I don't see the point for major open-source projects or even company projects to depend on a third-party provider for git services in the cloud that is not on-premise. It's fine if the source code is self-hosted or on premise and the mirror is hosted on some cloud VCS like Github, but not the other-way round, which for the latter you risk getting problems like this.
The case for self-hosting a VCS server for serious projects is made once again.
