Arch Linux have used their own gitlab instance for a long time (though with mirrors to GitHub). Debian and Fedora have both run their own infra for git for a long time. Not sure about other distros. I was surprised Gentoo used GitHub at all. Pretty sure several of these distros started doing this with cvs or svn way back before git became popular even.

I mean, gitlab is only from ~2019. The first hit I could find of a git repository hosted on `archlinux.org` is from 2007; https://web.archive.org/web/20070512063341/http://projects.archlinux.org/ https://web.archive.org/web/20070512063341/http://projects.a...

  Gitlab started in 2011. Which, granted, is still after 2007. https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/gitlab https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/gitlab

  Many companies were using commercially licensed Gitlab in 2017 already, so it must have been established before that time. Definitely not in 2019

Both GitHub and now Codeberg are mirrors of a self-hosted cgit repository of Gentoo.
