    Would be nice to see federated PRs. Git is distributed after all!

        This looks neat, so the repositories are distributed across the people who run the radicale nodes? I’ve been self hosting forgejo for a while, wouldn’t mind trying this out just for fun.

    PSA: GitHub does not have a monopoly, you are free to host your stuff elsewhere (or yourself)

      Yes, and for most of us it’s easy to do so, but I’m not going to explain a noob how to add new repositories. I mean, I did, and I will do in the future, but it’s not my favorite task to do.


      I realized my comment was a bit ambiguous. I meant repositories like for Maven, NPM, or package managers. Having stuff on GitHub makes it a lot easier.
