I started to use Alioth since 2014 and I was a git user from the beginning. At that time every new git repo has to be manually created, and to remove a git repo one has to use the dangerous command `rm -rf`. Even worse, different teams have different directory layouts, such that Debian Science team wrote a shell script for creating new git repos on Alioth. I'm a post-90s and that feels like sort of stoneage workflow, literally. Salsa just makes my life easier. Tracker is definitely the first service that I'd access if I wanted to see the overview of some package. And I always recommend software upstream to get package overview via tracker.d.o . However I don't know how tracker changed my way to work because I don't remember what I've done when tracker was not available.
