hi.
because i am not a developer or programmer i am not shure about sourcecode.
but for bug reporting i am shure that bugzilla and the current way of
bug reporting in bugzilla is the most excellent, reliable, easy and
accessible way.

Hi!
I wanted to know why LibreOffice doesn't uses GitHub to maintain their
source code. I personally wanted to start contributing but after I saw
it wasn't on GitHub i started to think twice. I believe this is a
serious drawback.
Others have already mentioned the independence. More elaborate answer:

"Free Software needs free tools"
The oldest/largest meta-projects such as Apache or GNU or KDE have
their own infrastructure. The latter uses GitHub just for read-only
mirrors; in order to contribute you use the Free infrastructure.
The code is a bunch of files so these can be copied but I think you
can imagine what happens if one day issue tracking system (such as
GitHub) disappears. There's no copy of the system.

O people! there has come to you indeed an admonition from your Lord
and a healing for what is in the breasts and a guidance and a mercy
for the believers.
Say: In the grace of Allah and in His mercy-- in that they should
rejoice; it is better than that which they gather.
