Why not keep it on both github and gitlab?  Unlike Subversion, Git is by design a distributed version control system and can easily be kept on multiple servers for resilience.  Just set multiple remotes and push to both.  You can even set multiple URLs in the git config for a single remote and automatically push to both with a single push command.  This way, if one resource provider has issues or has an extended equipment failure and downtime, the data is automatically backed up and instantly available on other servers.  I use this technique for other projects and often on three or four simultaneous resource providers, like GitHub, AWS, SourceForge, etc.  Though you can pick one to use as the primary for issue and PR tracking.
