Ignoring that it isn't FOSS, there is another type of serious lock-in
effect at github.  Only github-registered users can submit bugs there
and github can boot users off pretty much on a whim.

github's registration terms are nasty in a couple of other ways.
See https://github.com/site/terms or for a summary

So please can we keep some way to submit bugs without registering at
github?

I know the bug genie has had some problems lately, but at least it's
an open system driven by Free and Open Source Software.  Its
developers seemed responsive the one time that I contacted them - has
anyone been in touch with them about the problems owncloud has been
having?  After all, FOSS improves more when you engage with upstream.

Thanks,
