At this point I'm very concerned about the open source industry relying so much on github. You have to remember that any project there can be swept away overnight because it doesn't fit into the agenca of a large company, for example.

The author was bullied by Nintendo into voluntarily removing the repos, it wasn't DMCA'd.

GitHub had nothing to do with this one. And just like with Yuzu, plenty of people have uploaded copies of the repo already, thanks to git's decentralized nature where everyone have a full copy of the entire history.

Git is decentralized, but the collaborative aspect is fully centralized.

I see. But still, GitHub isn't the right place for precious code like this. The best would be to have a federated git forge, something like what the forgejo devs are working on.
