The next GitHub is not worth winning

The author mentioned Forgejo, but why don't mention Gitea that is the direct fork of Forgejo without which the former would not even exist?

Why skip such a marvelous project that is still modern and inherits a marvelous amount of human time and work within?

Perhaps like you, I did contribute pull-requests/issues to the Gitea project, and know people who did, too. Why do you mention a fork that changed the license and added possibly just a few if compared to the initial base repository of the Gitea and its Action Runner based on nektos/act they mentioned in their own fork even, too?

Is this how they dim so recent history, but why?

And it shows:

Yes, a fear of license change, forking, and maintaining by enthusiasts is sure understandable, and is a miracle, but it does not let you to just dim/negate/forget the so marvelous history and human effort that allowed the fork, with still so little but appreciated changes, to even exist.
