Perhaps a relevant comparison here is Pinboard.

It's a paid subscription website and has done very well as a one-man-army project. Its success hasn't compromised its virtues of being lightweight and no-nonsense (unlike Delicious).

If SourceHut could do the same for Git that would be great.

It already does. Other than some (minor) missing features that are in active development, what else do you need?

It's a 'public alpha'. Personally I won't be signing up until it's describing itself as stable.

You can sign-in for free while it is alpha and try it. Everything works very well except the account data export that is not still enabled. I have found it very practical and fast, much better than the typical github+travis combination.

Their description of "alpha" is more stable than many services that describe themselves as stable, IMO:
