Hello,
as one of the guys who do the maintaince of sip-router.org I'll like to
add my thoughts as well.
Moreover, as always, running one's own repo and
bug tracker opens up
more possibilities for backend automation and integration with
third-party tools. Of course, Git is Git, and I'm sure GitHub has some
useful APIs, too, and it is likely that the project probably won't be
needing such advanced integration in the near future.
We're running indeed some custom services on sip-router.org, like the
generation of documentation from code, from docbook, from serctl/ sercmd
object files and other stuff. There is also a daily snap shot generation, which
we probably like to keep as github removed the possibility to upload and
download files some time ago [1]. This stuff still needs to be run and maintained
from us even after a move of the git repository.
Still, it's always a trade-off when switching to a
"cloud" service.
Control is good.

I'd like to second this with that article:
http://redmonk.com/dberkholz/2013/04/22/the-size-of-open-source-communities…
It looks (among other topics) to the choice of hosting provider at open source
projects at the end of the article. If a project reached a certain size, they tend
to move away from github.
I've nothing against a move to github per se, but we'll still need to run
sip-router.org and kamailio.org, if only for our webpage and release file
hosting.
Best regards,
Henning
