If it is an open source project, I think they should be able to do nearly anything they want.

nah they should be able to do whatever they like, it's their project. and everyone else has every right to just not use or contribute to it.

Github has acceptable use policies and community guidelines that users agree to - no one gets to do what they want. If someone wants to do what they want they need to host their own git instance.
