Maybe I am missing something here but I host a ppa( not really but 
Debian repository)  like repository on github directly,

look at https://github.com/justlostintime/ppa

The following script is used to create the repository.

Here is the script I use to build it, see the readme on how to set it up 
as a repository on a Debian or Ubuntu release

the Ubuntu directory actually contains Debian packages...lol

=========================================

#!/bin/bash

cd ~/Projects/ppa/ubuntu

echo In directory $PWD

# Packages & Packages.gz
dpkg-scanpackages --multiversion . > Packages
gzip -k -f Packages

# Release, Release.gpg & InRelease
apt-ftparchive release . > Release
gpg --default-key "justlostintime@xxxxxxxxx" -abs -o - Release > Release.gpg
gpg --default-key "justlostintime@xxxxxxxxx" --clearsign -o - Release > 
InRelease

# Make list file
echo "deb 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/justlostintime/ppa/main/ubuntu ./" > 
gsh.list

# Commit & push
git add -A
git commit -m update
git push

=======================================================================

Is this what we are talking about. It should not be to hard to do this with gambas packages onto github.
Is there a limit to the hosting on github, or is it just because it is a bad actor in open source world?
This script can of course be used for and location hosting the repository.
