Two more thoughts:
I'm a bit surprised to hear that Spammers would be such a big problem. On
GitHub, I'm subscribed to dozens of repos and surely more than a thousand
conversations, but over the past 10 years I have received less than 5 spam
messages in total. That makes we wonder how GH is doing it, because
notifications are sent out instantly and I would have seen those in the inbox
even when they would have been cleaned up later.
What's their recipe?
And regarding Codeberg: When spam is such a big concern that we must require
user to apply even for creating a fork (unlike almost any other open-source
software project in the world) - why then even bother with self-hosting? If we
think it causes too much trouble, why do it in the first place? There are other
organizations for which hosting Git repos is their daily and primary business.
Maybe it's better to have it professionally hosted and call it a day...
Why not Codeberg actually?
Best
