It would be too painful to move D to Gitlab or another medium?

Yes. This is beyond horrible and definitely damaging to any open 
source project using Github, and undoubtedly it will continue to 
worsen over time. Within the next few years it will be necessary 
to log in to do anything with a Github repo. It will succeed 
because the main developers of these projects are already logged 
in.

An easy solution is to run your own Fossil server. Set up a 
script to pull from Github on a daily basis and commit to the 
Fossil repo. (SQLite does the reverse, using Github as a mirror 
of the real repo.) Once you have it set up, maybe it can be 
linked from the main website. The full SQLite repo, which gets 
massive traffic, is hosted on part of the cheapest Linode server.
