Yes, the team behind Yuzu and Citra is disbanding, so Citra is being discontinued. But it’s an open-source project under a GPL license, so other developers can maintain their own version of it.
The strategies that Nintendo used for suing Yuzu wouldn’t really work for Citra, as it’s not a current system and doesn’t even require a firmware/keys. Doubt Nintendo will bother either, they never did for older systems.
On GitHub? No. It will get DMCA’d in very short order.
Don’t see why it would. The settlement doesn’t affect other developers and never even concerned Citra.
Well, citing IGN:
The Citra homepage seems to confirm that.

…and then risk the same litigation from Nintendo, or at least a DMCA takedown, something which the settlement explicitly mentions.
Only if it’s being developed in the US/by Americans and/or hosted on American servers.
And where do you think GitHub is?
There’s many alternatives to GitHub. A new repo could exist on a different service, or even be self hosted using git or GitLab.
Not really, they weren’t sued for Citra, but Nintendo saw their chance.
Yep. So I don’t see why they wouldn’t enforce that extra win.
