Related to this I today noticed that https://forgejo.debian.net/ is up and running, and Daniel is already using it for "production" use by hosting his own packages there. It would be nice to read a writeup of what you plan is, and how the Go team or other DDs in general are expected to relate to this. Most people are familiar with Forgejo and many have an account on e.g. Codeberg, so I think we are in particular interested in your plan regarding gains from Forgejo in Debian vs costs from fragmentation. Perhaps a blog post, Debian news item or other announcement?
