Research direction
Review the six-comment discussion and compare the hosting alternatives named in the issue: Codeberg, Gitea, sourcehut, and GitLab. Done would require a decided replacement platform and an agreed migration plan; the issue does not name files, tests, or implementation entry points.

Description
Community is important.
Linux community is often aligned towards free and open-source initiatives; unfortunately, Github is not one of them. Not only it being a proprietary platform, it is also run by a huge unethical company that has a history of using copyleft-licensed code hosted on Github in their own proprietary products such as Copilot.
There is a lot of reasons why this decision can harm an open-source community and a lot of people who will be kept away from contributing to this project. This is a request to reconsider current hosting platform before it's too late.
There are currently a lot of great alternatives, such as Codeberg, Gitea and sourcehut.
Gitlab might also be a good choice for the sake of close collaboration with original wayland-protocols.
Thank you for your initiative and I hope it will shed a light on wayland future.
Let's not turn this place into a froggy pot for all of us 🐸.
