Both have their merits. I think what we have today is optimized for some but cumbersome for many. Like shopping for a drill, it is good to step back from time to time and ensure we have the right tools. I think the problem statement of productivity being impacted from outgrowing the current tooling is different from who is hosting it. These are some options I noticed interest in (in no particular order): - Forgejo - GitLab - Mailing List/Patch Workflow (current solution)Since our last discussion at VDD, I have come to prefer Forgejo over GitLab and would be in favor of hosting an instance on ffmpeg.org. What are the current barriers to doing this. Michael, since you said that you are in favor iff the community agrees with it, should we start a GA vote on the matter? Can Timo set it up and maintain it for us? If not, I can also volunteer myself to do it.If we evaluate this as choosing a software appliance and put aside "who is the host" I think we can have a good discussion. There could be value in coming to consensus on one step, then moving on to the next. The goal is not to spin around on which tool is better but I am wondering, - What other options would the community consider and any relevant pros/cons?One pro about ForgeJo is that unlike most of its competitors, it is a community run project with a democratic governance model, a high degree of transparency on infrastructure and process, and a commitment to fully open source software (GPLv3+).
So, it works. The only thing we're missing is people to stop being aggressive to each other. And for that, the CC should act and be swift.
