For reference, there were discussions about the fedeproxy project with the following people:
- Pierre-Yves Gosset (Framasoft) at https://forum.chatons.org/t/federation-de-forges/1869/6
- Nicolas Chauvat (Logilab) at https://forum.chatons.org/t/federation-de-forges/1869/25
I sent a description of the forge federation project to Richard Stallman. I worked with him back in 2001 to create https://savannah.gnu.org and trust his advice on the matter. He explained an aspect that I overlooked: when the acceptance of a software project is moderated on a forge, projects created via the federation protocol should also be moderated. Since the forge Savannah has requirements about licensing and substance, to support the free software movement, it shouldn’t automatically allow projects to federate from other forges which don’t have the same requirements.
