Discussions on ways to "modernize" the Emacs editor have come up in various guises over the past fewyears. Changes of that nature tend to be somewhat contentious in the Emacscommunity, pitting the "old guard" that values the existing features (andkeybindings) against those who argue for changes to make Emacs moreapproachable (and aesthetically pleasing) to newcomers. Those discussionstend toward mega-thread status, so it should be no surprise that a queryabout possibly moving Emacs development to a "forge" (e.g. GitHub or GitLab) gotsimilar treatment. As always in Emacs-land, there are multiple facets tothe discussion, including the desirability of moving away from anemail-based workflow, accommodating younger, forge-centric developerswithout forcing existing developers into that model, and-naturally-licensing.
