    Github is pretty annoying nowadays - and pretty much the only reason I haven’t left for my own stuff is because going to a different platform will probably see me in the same situation in a few years again.

    I still have my self hosted git instances around, and everything is pushed to there plus github - but github is where issues get created and pull requests come in as obviously nobody wants to make yet another account. That might be able to solve just that.

    So that people can follow the PRs for a certain project? Or what’s the use case for this

      The end-goal is to support AP for merge requests (aka pull requests), meaning git.alice.dev can send a merge request to gitlab.com/Bob/project.git

      In the most expansive version of this vision, anyone running an AP-enabled git instance (with one or more repos) can send MRs to another instance’s repo, without having to sign up there.

        Thanks :) So since Gitlab can be self hosted there wasn’t a way to make PRs from one instance to another?

          Yeah, each server was separate but this helps their users connect between them without signing up. Also apparently Gitea is adding similar support
