I'm just not sure of the value of moving off GitHub in favor of FOSS web apps. Self hosting a web app is so much more complicated than installing a FOSS application/binary. Something like Gitea/Forgejo is like "here's a free engine, now you have a car!". No I have an engine, I have to obtain and assemble and pay for the rest of the car myself
