I’m actually neither. I’m a big fan of forks. If something isn’t working out well, it should be very easy to create a fork and switch to the fork (i.e. forks should be lightweight just like branches).

We can’t rely on everyone to follow our schedules, so if there’s a desire we should take the lead on getting it done instead of dragging each other down. As such, I didn’t post this to shame anyone, mostly to provide an onus for switching to a fork. (Or I should say, another onus, since there are already a few reasons to not contribute to Gitea, mostly coming down to size of the project and inertia preventing refactors or redesigns.)
