If we want a more-than-monthly emergency security update and the dozens of minutes of associated downtime, then by all means let us install GitLab on own infrastructure. (And just to be clear, that was not me volunteering to manage it. I am already fed up with the two I have inherited.) More generally, these “forges” that try to do everything unavoidably are passable or mediocre at each thing they do. The benefit of having everything integrated together is completely cancelled by not using the best tool for each task. The main benefit is for people who are already familiar with these tools and will not need to learn another process. That leads me to my third point: It seems to me the demands that we move to such a tool mostly come from people who would have contributed anyway. People who want their code in, shifting the burden of maintenance to the project, but do not want to invest time into learning different tools, even when they are superior.
