Codeberg is cool but I would prefer not having all FOSS project centralised on another platform. In my opinion projects of the size of Godot should consider using their own infrastructure.
Hosting a public code repo can be expensive, however they can run a private repo using Forgejo and mirror to Codeberg to create redundancy and have public code that doesn’t eat so much monthy revenue, if they even have revenue.
To Codeberg we go!

Let’s be realistic. Not everyone is going to move to Codeberg. Godot moving to Codeberg would be decentralizing.
Back to sourceforge it is then.

Don’t underestimate legitimate contributions from people who only do it because they already have an account.
It’s discussed in the Bluesky thread but the CI costs are too high on Gitlab and Codeberg for Godot‘s workflow.
That’s a shame. Did they take the wasted developer time dealing with slop into account in that discussion?
