Gitea is itself a fork of gogs (Go Git Server)

it is functioning like Open Source should, there was a disagreement in how the project was run so it gets forked

This used to be more common place when projects were run by people not companies. I wish the practice would come back we need more forks in Free Software

It feels bad to "waste" the work that could have otherwise gone into highly-paid billable hours, or at least charity work on other repos that get more use.
