Yet the damage is already done, as they've shown their hand. I hope all Bitcoin projects that enable users to take self custody have taken note, if they are currently using Github, that they can be shut down/out at any time.

I am wondering how the Bitcoin Core developers reacted to this. Do they have fallbacks?

There was some discussion about this during Austin Bit Devs last month. I think there are several mirrors. A lot of the context is indeed on GitHub though.

Actually, it looks like they do have an API for that https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/rest-api-description/main/descriptions-next/ghes-3.6/ghes-3.6.yaml

The repo owner shall file GDPR date export request to backup the issues once a month.
