Does any other repo from the list passes A+5? As I know even Savannah
can't do it. IIUC the feature of federation in forgejo is currently
developed by those who were last active participants of ForgeFed project
https://codeberg.org/ForgeFed/ForgeFed/commits/branch/main which aim was
exactly the federation like in fediverse between instances... It could
be next step of freedom in a git repos world. Their aim is to make
possible to have one accout on one instance and be able to make pull
requests to any other "forgefed" instance (I am not sure about
compatibility and live of forgefed now) and create issues and
collaborate with other people which have accounts on other instances.
The idea is to connect people to destroy necessity to registry on any
concrete repo to participate in a project you are interested in. In fact
the opportunity to export data (A+5) is only a small piece of what
projects aim (though it isn't fully implemented now). I also would like
to propose A+6 which is about the fact you can use your "fediverse"
account on one instance and interact with another but now we don't have
things that aren't in alpha stage about it. If you want to know more.
Ask the forgefed project and those who currently develop federation
features in forgejo (in fact they are the same people)

A+5: I think it passes. It's *possible* but not simple. There is not a
straight-forward data exporting, there is only API-based transfer
which is usually done by triggering import command at another Forgejo
instance. However, there is also a dump-repo command to export data,
though that still does it via the API.
https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/398 is about improving
that process. https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/248 is also
relevant. https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/896 is about
Codeberg rate-limits delaying or blocking export.
https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/960 is another issue
indicating that exporting is indeed possible but needs improved
process. Here's an issue about export also including user profile:
https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/420 and again, this is
messy but possible and being worked on.
