Have you tried to use Pagure as a development based git forge? And not
just as a dist-git hosting location? It needs a lot of help! More than the
current resources provide.

The reasons why are well documented in Pagure's issue tracker.

If that's something you value, feel free to contribute to Pagure upstream.
But Pagure can't compete with Gitlab as a development forge in its current
state.

There are other public git forges that behave better than Pagure:

 - SourceHut 
 - Gitea
 - ...

So I don't think this actually has as much value as you think.


And to be clear: there's a difference between a Fedora-sponsored
Development forge and a new git forge for dist-git. A lot of this
discussion has conflated these two cases. I mostly care about it
releasing the former role (pagure.io) and don't care much about
the latter role (s.fp.o).
