github.com is subject to the same export control laws as every other
US company, but they don't do much to enforce them. ("Users are
responsible", "Github.com has not been audited", etc.) Can you give
any more details? You said something changed – what was it? Is there a
reason to think that github is different in this respect from any
other platform we might use, including self-hosting? (For better or
worse, the PSF is also a US corporation subject to US law...)
