Just a personal testimony that I am moving in the exactly
opposite direction towards Sourcehut and a CGit hosted on my own
server. For me, it is all about ownership: Microsoft pushes very
hard on GitHub users to give more and more of their ownership
towards them.

Not only they included complete VS Code into GitHub (aka
github.dev), but they push hard more and more into pull requests,
aka the part of your presence on GitHub which you don’t own at
all. See https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/29490/files …
with all those “Commit suggestion” stuff it is less and less
about Decentralized VCS and more about owning your project (not
your code, I know, but all your communication, intelligence
collected, annotations about the code). How much better in terms
of ownership you are with Savannah (or me with Sourcehut), where
are all this intelligence and conversation is in email lists,
which are easily exportable into standard format.

Best,

Matěj
