Mat Duggan proposes designing an alternative to GitHub, GitLab, and Gitea that decouples forge operations from Git's distributed version control model, arguing that modern development workflows rely primarily on centralized repositories rather than Git's email-patch system. His concept would include pre-commit feedback, nuanced approval states, customizable review requirements, stacked pull requests as standard, reduced feature scope, modular hosting units, and improved local-remote synchronization between VCS and forge.
