Why should he?

Maybe he does not want to deal with reviewing shitty PRs and comment noise and feature requests? (As far as I know you still cannot disable PRs).

This is already a large and no doubt time consuming project as it is, and not everybody likes to be a "community manager" more than they like to code.

Thanks! As Zikes say, a little competition is good and gitlab is working out fine for me. I used to be on gitorious and it got bought by gitlab so I moved. I prefer being on a platform I can theoretically port.

Thanks for hosting https://gitlab.com/sortix/sortix on GitLab! Feel free to email me at [email protected] if you ever need anything.

Sure, it's just that most projects get hosted on Github these days, so I just assume all midsize open source projects are.

Personally, I'm glad to see them using GitLab[1]. While GitHub vs GitLab may make fairly little operational difference for most projects, I do think that competition is sorely needed in the Git hosting space right now.
