I personally see this pretty much the other way - there are many good
or usable forges for hosting ones project. There is at the moment pretty much
only one git forge with good (and any at all any) integration with Fedora processes 
- Pagure.

That's why I see Pagure as important mostly in the Fedora family context and less
important in the general git forge are. It would certainly be nice to see Pagure
take over that as well, but I see having a fully open git forge with full
Fedora integration sitting on top of distgit as more important.
