i'll note that I ran into some important upsides and downsides with both of
those when picking which to use for projects i've worked on, hopefully this
info is useful for ffmpeg:
* gitlab just recently decided their open source version won't be supporting
pull mirroring (where the server actively pulls every so often from a remote
repository):
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/23166#note_2620944560
* forgejo doesn't yet support scoped permissions for oauth, so if you use a
forgejo account for authenticating with some website/program, that effectively
gives that website/program full permissions to anything you can access/modify
through your forgejo account (it says administrative privileges, so maybe even
more than that?):
https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/oauth2-provider/
(not to be confused with using e.g. google to log into your forgejo account
which afaik has no significant issues)
* forgejo's runner (for CI) is almost completely compatible with github actions
(though forgejo doesn't aim for compatibility), so that makes running CI easier
in some ways since iirc basically every github action I've tried on forgejo
just works.
