First there is a bit of paranoia: Often there is software which you could self-host but if you actually try there are some proprietary bits or you need some very special patched dependencies. So switching from "hosted externally" to "self hosted" might be quite hard. Also dist-git is the very core of Fedora (+ build/update infrastructure and ticketing). If this is hosted externally we would also need to trust the external operator. In the end having write access to a spec file means having root access on all machines which install that package (though you could detect the modification via git - but I don't want to rely only on git's hash sums). In the end I'm also ok with a hosted solution (as I'm not the one doing the work) as long as there is a (realistic!) backup plan to self-host the code. As far as I know Debian and Freedesktop maintain their own gitlab instances so it should be possible to benefit from their experience and tooling.
