I don't know if this is a concern or perhaps a bonus, but I do know that github encourages a lot of forking and hacking and contributions from coders on the "sideline". This may also produce some interested hackers creating unique changes that might not otherwise have happened - also because primarily it's something they get to put on their github page as "popular repositories" and "contributions" within the last 6 months. I know there is some software out there I've contributed to that was on github that I might not have contributed had it not been on there, because they make PRs really really easy.
As an aside, I get the warm and fuzzies when I hear "Inkscape is already insanely popular" even though I had nothing to do with it. It's great software, you guys are great. Keep it up!

An advantage of GitHub that was not mentioned here is Travis CI, which allows to run unit tests before merging every branch.
GitLab also has a CI solution, but its public runner servers do not support C++ - we would need to self-host that part.

What about moving one small repo to github and another to gitlab so more eyeballs get to see both?
I see that metric as a bit biased. We know Github is the monopoly de- jure, so just by force of numbers it'll discount any other concerns or benefits in favour of one.
Do we really have a lack of eyeballs? Inkscape is insanely popular already. What we need is better tools, not just the most popular one.
