Couldnt this be done with email reminders and single sign on?
Comment on GitLab abandons federation plans!
russjr08@bitforged.space 8 months agoI always assumed it was more or less targeting the federation of issues/MRs.
The git side of things is already distributed as you said, but if you decide to host your random project on your own GitLab instance you’ll miss out on people submitting issues/MRs because they won’t want to sign up for an account on your random instance (or sign in with another IdP).
This is where a lot of the reliance of GitHub comes from, in my opinion.

100% agree with you here.

People could just submit issues by e-mail, tbh.
I have most of my projects on either notabug or chiselapp (Fosil, not Git) and to this day I get e-mails asking for stuff or notifying about issues, so it’s not like the “social” / “Hub” aspect of “GitHub” is needed.
