Are they deprioritized (spelling dunno)? Or are they just different in a way which you judge as being not-conducive to collaboration? (I mean you mention mailing lists.)

There’s not really much need for a “forge” without collaboration. I wouldn’t pay the price of SourceHut just so that I can fetch and whatever between my machines. That’s like a pricey sneaker net.

Per my reply to sneak's comment, collaboration features are part of SourceHut's goals, but its approach is very different from that of GitHub.

If all you want is a lightweight web UI for a git repository, git's official GitWeb project offers this. SourceHut isn't just an alternative to GitWeb.
