Absolutely, seconding this suggestion to review Codeberg ASAP. I forgot
that it wasn't already there. I think Codeberg is today far-and-away the
most robust and popular service that has an explicit software-freedom
dedicated focus. If there are any concerns (there may be very few), I am
almost certain they would actively engage with us in discussing and
working to resolve them.
I am myself using Codeberg now as the repository service for my
projects. In fact, after way too much delay, Snowdrift.coop (project I
co-founded and am still working on) is now moving to Codeberg and
finally escaping GitLab (having initially, though uncomfortably, moved
to GitLab back when it was at least acceptable).
I would like to see the GNU evaluation of Codeberg done before publicly
announcing the Snowdrift move.
I did notice that Codeberg is criticized at
https://git.sdf.org/humanacollaborator/humanacollabora/src/branch/master/forge_comparison.md
for an event in which they were inadequately supportive of some critic
of Cloudflare. However, without going deeply into it, this seems like
just the the sort of imperfect decision-making that organizations can
have. The service is not directly using cloudflare itself nor any other
authentication-wall, and I do not think this is a sign of bigger
problems or a slippery-slope scenario. I bring it up for others to
consider though.
Who will lead the Codeberg review? I am willing to help, especially if
someone can take the lead and delegate specific items. I do have other
pressing priorities that make it hard to focus on this right now.

Hello!
I think that Code Berg [1] is enough popular to be in the list [2]. If
it is bad, it would be good to have it in the list to show people they
shouldn't use it. If it is good, they idea will be the same but opposite.
