A fair question, but one that seems entirely off-topic for the Postgres lists, since we don't depend on GitHub. (And that's a thing for which I'm very glad today.)

Core postgres is OK, but I think there are a number of postgres-related projects that might be on places like GitHub.
I have few projects there - Orafce, plpgsql_check, and pspg. I hope so these projects are well protected by BSD licence - and distributed redundant nature of git. I hope so there is not reason for panic this moment. I have not a big data in non git sources - issues, and others.
But I understand so there are projects that are (can be) in conflicts of interests with Microsoft, and it can be problem.
