I want to offer a small amount of anecdotal evidence in favor of the recent push to Sourcehut and against the GitLab/GitHub alternatives that are presumably favoured by you (Dmitry) and some others. In recent $DAYJOBs I worked with these two GL/GH platforms fully, using them liberally and without restrictions. In these recent experiences the undenia= ble contemporarity and newcomer friendliness of these platforms does NOT seem to translate into quality of code, quality of discussion or any kind of benefic developer agility in any way. Again, just anecdotal evidence which you may take for what it's worth, but in fact I believe that the "slow", unfamiliar, peculiar, old-school whatever-you-want-to-call= -them methods used in Emacs development may in fact be "aces up our sleeve", not just a means to appease those that have been using them for a number of years.
