I don't have any strong motivation beyond my own learning process -- if people can articulate good reasons for or against, that would help clarify things. I like both savannah and gitlab actually, but many in the guile and guix community (which are the main sources of contributions to guile-gnutls) seems to be migrating projects to codeberg. I think some contributors has expressed a desire to not be on gitlab. What may actually have been more on my mind was that I recall seeing that the gitlab GnuTLS group lost its OSS status recently, reverting it back to free services, and I thought that archiving the guile-gnutls project may somehow help to regain the premium features, making the group easier to review for licensing. This is not substantiated though. I don't think moving is hard or require a lot of effort -- as far as I know, the only things that matters are to decide how to handle gitlab issue tracker, merge requests, release page and continuous integration. There are is one simple way to handle that: make the guile-gnutls project on gitlab a read-only project, and setup a gitlab mirror repository for CI/CD purposes. But we can keep both codeberg and gitlab, which will probably need to happen for some time anyway. What do you think about moving? For debian packaging I don't think it matters: the watch file downloads things from ftp.gnu.org, which I suppose will continue. Or do you have other concerns? /Simon
