Great, but why on GitHub? That doesn't seem very souverain to me

Git is distributed, the repository can be hosted concurrently at many places.

The project benefits from the visibilityband community of GitHub and GitHub is completely replaceable with European hosted or self-hostable options should something untoward happen.

Not sure that it’s relevant to switch git hosts is trivial. And everyone is already there

Cause that's where the traction is. The beauty of git is that it's inherently distributed, github is just a clone like any other.

GitHub is using Git which was developed by Linus Thorvald, a Finish and thus EU citizen.

That does not sound very sovereign by the US to me.
