While I personally hope those countries can access github freely, it's not something Openwrt can resolve, maybe you can fork Openwrt somewhere else and design a way for them to access? a project is not United Nation counsel that _will_ solve world peace issues, it just can't. The reality is openwrt can barely make one release a year, whatever infrastructure can help the project benefits us all. Others are free to help those countries to access openwrt(which is why TOR exists, for example), but let's not burden the core team with political responsibility, and let openwrt keep making the best OSS software possible.
