Both apache.org and eclipse.org are migrating their projects over to github. It's per-project and up to each subproject, as far as I can see, but the writing is on the wall: No own repos, issue tracking, sometimes even forums move over - and unlike repos, all these other bits don't have simple download facilities in case you want to move away.
Sure, these two orgs always were on the more corporate side of #opensource, but does it sound like a bad idea to anybody else to just hand the keys to your kingdom to a single dominant provider?
