It would be great to have the source self-hosted but for the stability
and longevity of the community I'm not sure if it's the best decision.
I support DJ's decision to use Sourcehut.
This can happen with a commercial hosting as well. As far as i know you
need to have a paid account on Sourcehut to have public repos,
so in the end someone will need to pay anyway.
I agree that commercial hosting can also go down, but I think that paid-hosting is much less likely to go down than self-hosted server is.
If we move to another source forge of any kind and stick with having a
single person owning the repos nothing is won compared the
situation we are facing currently.
We need to gather a team of interested people to increase the bus factor
of the project.
This is a good point; the previous maintainers both eventually burnt-out- presumably because of the size of the project and a few other factors.Perhaps 2–4 co-maintainers, instead of a single maintainer, would help.What are people's opinions on this?
