I guess Gogs have an excuse, as they had to host the project somewhere, and perhaps they haven't started dog fooding because of migration difficulties, e.g. the issue tracker.

But I wonder what's the excuse for Gitea as they're a pretty recent Gogs fork?

They're both pretty amazing though: Self-contained binaries and less than 5 minutes setup time, so totally suitable for ad-hoc deployment.

Github also does not cost time and money to use for open source projects.

I've used a few GoGS servers, but none of them were public. Hosting a public competitor to Github is a different set of skills to developing a self-hosted VCS server.

He's keeping it real, going with Apache Allura.
