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?

Personally I think it's so much better than PRs (not that I don't think it can't be improved), but to each their own I suppose. I'd also be happy if GitLab had an HTTP endpoint you could submit a single patch or an archive of patches to, or something like that.

(Apparently it does support submitting patch files directly. Via email, but not in the git send-email format. Weird. Will have to try it at some point.)

Afaik Gitlab has a CLI tool (maybe unoffcial, idk) that allows you to create MR's from the commandline. I don't believe you have to use the web interface.

I'll have to look into that. Thanks!
