There is absolutely no way you can avoid GH hosted project completely. It's like trying to buy a phone without Chinese parts.
I respect bigger ambitions, but they can lead to defeatism and paralysis. The point is to do what is possible, rather than let perfect be the enemy of the good. I see it as a minor effort. At least, easier than being forced to beg for food, hoping I won't be executed when I turn my back.
It's open source software. You're free to fork it on any platform of your choosing and support it yourself.
