> Boom, problem solved

Not if your CI depends on github, or if you have specific actions to review things, or if you use SSO because you're an enterprise, or....

Workarounds exist for each of these cases, but they add significant friction. That's not terrible if you're one person, but if you're an org? big problem.

Enterprise Cloud up time is 100% for last 90 days for most services, with a one being at 99.98 and one at 99.97.

Enterprise customers get an SLA

Most enterprises self host for all those critical things so they aren't blocked by third party service interruptions. SLAs might refund some money, but they won't recover the lost time.

I think this is less about source code itself, and more about the surrounding ecosystem of project management. Handling of issues, pull requests, who gets commit or admin access, all that stuff. If you mirror your git repo to other providers, fine. But if you have thousands of issues and PRs on Github, you still can't really move away and you still can't really work if Github is down.

Edit: I absolutely support federated forges, including Tangled as well as ActivityPub based approaches like the (slow) progress to federate Forgejo.

Projects are more than code. This doesn't solve the problem of issue trackers, pull requests, CI, etc.

Pull requests are a core feature of git, the protocol, so I think you probably mean certain PR features more than just PRs.

Issue trackers can be self-hosted from fully mature applications via docker images. You might find something here: https://selfh.st/apps/

CI is typically actioned from a configuration file in your repository to a CI SAAS solution, which could be anything. Travis CI was popular for a long time. When I was big into CI SAAS my favorite was Semaphore CI.

Thanks for the lead on the details, this has been on my spring cleaning todo list. Sounds like I have my weekend errand picked.
