Doubtful. IIRC it was somewhat of a hostile & opportunistic fork. The Gogs maintainer went on vacation or something and didn't reply to issues for a couple weeks so someone forked to Gitea and declared themselves the new mainline only for the Gogs maintainer to return and not appreciate the attempted usurpation.
- jhasse 8y agoI think it was more than a couple of weeks. Also before the fork the maintainer was asked multiple times to allow other contributors to become co-maintainer to reduce the bus factor.
- aleksi 8y agoSounds like Redmine / ChiliProject from a few years ago: https://www.chiliproject.org/projects/chiliproject/wiki/Why_Fork https://www.chiliproject.org/projects/chiliproject/wiki/Why_... ChiliProject is dead now, but Redmine continues to live on.
