First, Grace is still an alpha, and isn't ready to be trusted for real yet. Too much work left to do, and so far it's just me.
Second, as I open up to contributors, we need a place to work together. GitHub is the Home of Open Source. It's not just about the version control system; it's about the social network and features built around it, and right now GitHub has all of the other features, and I don't have time to build Repos, Issues, Discussions, PR's, Actions, and the rest of what GitHub has in addition to a VCS.
At some point, I will run Grace's version control in Grace, and create a way to use GitHub Actions to automate things from there, while keeping Issues, PR's, Actions, etc. somehow in GitHub. It's a ways off, for sure.
