I don't think it's a yellow flag. It's hard enough to get contributors for FOSS as it is. Adding the additional hurdle of creating a new account would be counterproductive. Everyone already has a Github account so it's much easier to host it there.
What they really need to do first is copy Gitlab and add support for logging in with Github. Then they could move their repo to gitea without locking out a bunch of contributors (or keep a copy on github and mirror issues/PRs)
Edit: looks like you already can login with github and they're working on migrating their repos to gitea!
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agois there a way to sync gitea/gitlab issues to github? i contribute to a project that is on gitlab but there is no discoverability. my idea was, if we had a mirror on github, at least people could look at issues, suggest fixes without having them to login to gitlab.
- kayson 4y agoI know gitea can mirror a github repo, not sure about issues or PRs though. If you're using gitlab or gitea you should be able to allow people to login with github accounts. I used that to raise issues about borgmatic[1] and it was very painless. I believe it's also mirrored on github but issues aren't enabled. Not sure how the maintainer set it up.
