Just for the record, I believe most of the community has moved from Gogs to Gitea (a fork) because of management issues in the original project.

- atomi 9y agoHuh? Gogs is fine. People, for whatever reason, think devs have to continue adding more and more features otherwise they see the project as "dead". It's not. In my opinion the Gitea folks are creating a bloated version of Gogs. YMMV.
- connorshea 9y agoMy understanding was that the maintainer of Gogs had stopped replying to any issues/PRs for a period of a few weeks and refused to add any other maintainers to the project, so people wanted to fork and ensure that it'd always have an active maintainer. https://blog.gitea.io/2016/12/welcome-to-gitea/ https://blog.gitea.io/2016/12/welcome-to-gitea/
- cube2222 9y agoHe did have some periods of inactivity. He didn't want to add other maintainers because he wanted to keep the code quality as good he wanted as far as I know and that's also why he didn't accept pr's, because the code quality wasn't good enough for him. He was also totally ok with the fork to gitea. Gitea exists so that more features can be added faster, not necessarily keeping the code quality ideal.
