In practice, Go is much, much more github dependent than rust, most go packages are on github

Aren't all the ones in the actual Go registry mirrored, though? I thought I read that. They also make it trivial to vendor dependencies, idk if Crates handles that

Crates.io hosts source code independently of GitHub.

Cargo also makes vendoring dependencies trivial.
