Yes, I’m open for both GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, and similar «complete development environments» (or whatever it’s called.) I’ve been working in GitHub the last years, and it’s so nice to have a decent bugtracker, a great review tool, a great git web interface, and more, all in one place. It really saves development time and gets rid of a lot of developer frustrations. Erlend

I strongly dislike Gerrit, it's really hard to learn and even after some time I still can't figure out how to use it correctly. Both GitHub and GitLab (on gitlab.com) would be a great improvement. Not sure though if this is "allowed" for GNU projects (it's probably not about the license, but being "GNU LilyPond"). Jonas
