I'm starting to wonder whether operating a shared #code-hosting platform is only possible with sponsorship. #Gitorious collapsed because their paid hosting couldn't cover their costs (which includes the cost of free hosting). I don't believe #Github ever publicly released figures, but I do remember hearing a rumor that they were not profitable before #Microsoft purchased them. #Bitbucket still persists, but #Atlassian has made so many changes to their offerings that IMO, using their platform is putting everything that touches it at risk. #SourceForge went to all sorts of dangerous extremes to try to monetize the huge number of repositories they host (most of which appear to be residue of projects that have either died or moved their active repos elsewhere).
#Darcs_Hub ( #Darcs ), #The_Nest ( #Pijul ), and #ChiselApp ( #Fossil ) are all too small to experience the tremendous cost factors. -

#GitHub's proprietariness has always been an unseen landmine, but like its predecessors #SourceForge, #GoogleCode, #CodePlex etc, projects have chosen based on present convenience (FOSS friendly, zero or low price for non-profit projects and individuals, large numbers of users --> potential for drive-by contributions). However, the big issue with GH and the others listed above was that to some degree, they were the center of gravity for code-hosting in their respective time periods.
#DVCS software such as Git, Breezy, Mercurial, Fossil, Darcs, Pijul and so on could be used to enable a much more distributed hosting model--and should be. If people and projects do not have to join a specific #code-hosting site in order to contribute to a project / attract contributors, the allure of sites like GitHub starts to fade.

I also think that our #code-hosting solutions needn't presume #git. All of #hg, #fossil, #darcs, #pijul, #brz can be viable depending on the project & organization.

There's another related thread that I can't find right now. -

Someone pointed out that #notabug's liberated fork of #gogs has not been updated in three years. That is a long time for a #code-hosting site. In conversation from mustard permalink -

And with the presumed compromise of git.php.net, all future development activities will take place on #GitHub.

There's another #code-hosting option: #Heptapod is a fork of #GitLab that supports #Hg repos. I see a hosted version at https://about.heptapod.host/

@buttle @wakest That makes sense. When I saw #Phabricator, it seemed to combine a lot of extra functions not found in other #code-hosting sites. In conversation from AndStatus permalink -

@bob I've said for years that centralizing on #Github for #code-hosting is a mistake and a lapse of judgement. It's repeating #SourceForge all over. In conversation from AndStatus permalink -

@alpacaherder With or without the #pollies, centralizing on a single #code-hosting platform is a bad idea. In conversation from web permalink
