No, there's no chance at all that Github's shift in ownership will affect Flarum's development status. There are plenty of alternatives if the climate at Github becomes hostile, between sites like Gitlab or self-hosted solutions like GOGS (or Gitlab itself can be self-hosted). At worst, it would be a minor inconvenience to decide on a continuing solution, make the move and deal with any dangling issues.

Don't fear, Github can do its thing and Flarum will be fine. We do hope, of course, that it will continue to provide the excellent resource and community that it has been, for both Flarum and the larger open source industry.
