My general view is that I also feel (and have felt) a bit uneasy about
free software projects depending so strongly on a proprietary
service. However, unless self-hosting, I don't see how f.ex. GitLab is
much of an improvement (Pagure might be a different story, but does it
offer a comparable user experience?) in that regard, and anything hosted
on "public" cloud is basically the same. ;)

crmsh used to be hosted at GNU Savannah, which is Free with a capital F,
but the admin experience, user experience and general discoverability in
the world at large all left something to be desired.

In regard to workflows, if everyone agrees, we should be able to improve
that without moving. For example, if all changes went through pull
requests, there is a "required reviews" feature in github. I don't know
if that is something everyone want, though.

Cheers,
Kristoffer
