I believe it is extremely important to have an archive of monero's source Incase something bad happens.

You can not call yourself a privacy project and rely on githubs good will!

That is why I have made this fundraiser to help me cover the electrity and maintenance costs for one year of (self)hosting. I hope you guys can understand how important this is and help me cover those costs by sending any amount of monero to the fundraising address.

Git is decentralised already

Just clone the monero repos to your PC and update your local copies with a git pull every now and then. With enough people doing so, the monero source will easily survive any hostilities from GH/M$/governments. If something happens, any of these git clones can used to "resurrect" a new main repository at a new host.

I am pretty sure most of the devs already have a local working copy of the repo on their PC.

So to be honest, I don't think your fundraiser is needed... but good luck anyway.
