KDE projects evade GitHub

Krita is a KDE project which hosts its development on a KDE GitLab instance. They also have a GitHub mirror repository.

The GitHub mirror is starred by 6.5k accounts. Their GitLab repository is starred by 75 accounts.

I think it’s a shame they evade GitHub as a platform for contributions. It certainly makes me give up contributing to it. Even on issue tickets.

The star difference is absurd.


Their ticketing system is Bugzilla. Which I greatly disliked before, but I don’t even see an obvious way to search for issues by text filtered to the Krita project.
