Would KDE switch over their git hosting to Gitea/Forgejo/Codeberg? (lemm.ee)

Currently KDE uses Gitlab at invent.kde.org. Gitlab has been known to not be entirely open. I wonder if KDE has considered moving over to Gitea/Forgejo/Codeberg instead? And if not, how come?

Well their instance is open though, it’s just that the official Gitlab instance has more features that aren’t released in the OSS repository of the Gitlab software.

I wasn't intending to accuse KDE of using proprietary software! I apologize if it came across this way. My gripe is primarily with what you specified regarding GitLab itself.

Ah yes, I understand.
What is your concern with Gitlab exactly though? Is it relying on open core software that makes it seem fickle to you, maybe?
