Practically, almost all open source work is on GitHub. I don't think I ever saw a project or library that I used on Gitlab, I saw something a few years ago on Bitbucket, and except for a couple of legacy libraries on bespoke source control servers I can't think of any other example. N>1000, but of course N<100%.

  I've seen a few on GitLab, IIRC KDE is there too.

    KDE, GNOME, and freedesktop host their own GitLab instances.

    I don't think self-hosting on Gitlab is going to help nginx's objective of being in a shared place where people already are and already have users.

  I suspect there are many developments by Chinese hosted on local hosting (Gitee?)

    Sure, but the ecosystems are pretty well separated by legal & technical & language barriers. F5 / nginx mainly target the non-Chinese portion of the tech ecosystem.

  > almost all open source work is on GitHub. I don't think I ever saw "all open source work that I know of, is on Github" Where did you look for source code, on Github. Where is the source code you found after looking? Github. Where is "almost all open source work" that I saw? on Github. etc..

I’m disappointed at Microsoft and GitHub as the next person but open source happens on GitHub. Period. I have a GitLab account with some code there but unless there’s a huge shift, I’m not gonna be contributing to OSS on GitLab. It’s just a hassle to remember where everything is.
