A merits based discussion whereby multiple stakeholders have a totally
different view and use case for a Forge is impossible to facilitate. What
is valuable to you and your use case might not be valuable to other users
and vice versa. I'm happy to have a conversation about any individual
requirements but the reality is any that made the list are valid
requirements from a stakeholder perspective and it's not up to me or anyone
to challenge that assertion.

If that came up as a UI requirement then yes we would have taken it on
board, would have documented it and would have presented it in the final
list of unique user stories we gathered. Would it be weighed equally with a
more core functional requirement? The answer is of course no but we would
have respected that request.

The Fedora specific requirements (as I am on the Fedora lists here) had
very few unique needs such that both Gitlab and Pagure would have satisfied
their desire. Either Forge would have been satisfied the requirements we
received and we ultimately opted for Gitlab based on a more holistic view
of the stakeholder needs.
