Just to add some heads up, CommitGo was on the roadmap, but establishing a company in the US takes time, so the initial org was created so that something could exist while the primary one was established. Hopefully more entities that are localized to specific geographic regions can be created as funding maintainers cross borders is a headache.

edit: we (the project and the company) are also receiving advice from several major open-source foundations on what establishing a foundation for the project would look like.

Heads up would have been explaining this at the time and not silently transferring ownership of the domain to a second for-profit entity with no lead up and no announcement [0]. I'd have thought that after the trademark fiasco you'd have learned to be more open about your intentions for your for-profit arms, but it seems you might have taken the opposite lesson.

[0] This announced Gitea Cloud but gave no explanation for why a second for-profit was created instead of just using the already-controversial Gitea Ltd: http://web.archive.org/web/20231127091431/https://blog.gitea...
