@mray what is the course of action that you suggest? What are some examples of projects that do things better way?
I am aware of @openmw using GitLab as a primary repo, and just mirroring the commits to the GitHUb repo.
Even more standalone examples are KDE and Gnome, which host their own GitLab instances for their projects.
But that means you need to create multiple accounts in order to contribute to all of them.
#ForgeFed ( @forgejo being prime example?) is still being worked on.
If you're on the Fediverse and you want to host code for libre software and other collaborative projects, you might want to check out @gitea:
It's free, open source and it's currently in process of adding Fediverse compatibility through ActivityPub, the same standard that Mastodon etc use to communicate with each other.
You can see some of the Gitea instances that already have experimental Fediverse connections listed at https://fedidb.org/software/gitea
If you're just looking for a Gitea instance to join, there's @codeberg at https://codeberg.org
To see the current state of federated forges, have a look at the @forgefriends blog post at https://forgefriends.org/blog/2022/06/30/2022-06-state-forge-federation/
