Easiest would be to look through the archives of the core-workflow
mailing list: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/core-workflow/

There were three reasons given in Brett's decision message:
1. No major distinguishing features between GitHub or GitLab
Note that GitHub and GitLab were the only proposals under
consideration; nobody else stepped up to champion any other solution.
2. Familiarity amongst core devs -- and external contributors -- with GitHub
3. Guido prefers GitHub
Guido repeatedly stated that his preference should not be taken into
account. I believe Brett gave it little weight, but obviously it was
in his mind.
