But I shall not derail the focus of this thread=E2=80=99s discussion about GitLab and its merits and features, and the desired features it still lacks; especially since Sourcehut still has to mature a bit more to be a considered as a replacement for all of Savannah or GitLab as proposed. Regardless, I think Sourcehut is a promising forge to keep an eye on, with workflows compatible with our existing ones. I=E2=80=99ll likely brin= g it up later when this discussion about GitLab gets somewhere (e.g. when we get to a prioritized list of features desired by the =E2=80=9Cmain=E2=80=9D= Emacs devs, as well as by new/potential contributors).
