I think that is not the case.

It does say in Introduction and Document Goals that one goal is document 
editing.

It does not say in either section that a goal of using github is to 
write software for protocol developped by that WG.

Were it to say so, I would discuss it further.  In one WG I am active I 
hesitate between recommending github for software writing, or another one.
