I had a chat with a friend who works at $StartUp that uses GitHub and GitHub-dependent software development enhancing SaaS(examples: Liberapay, Codecov). The amount they spend on third-party services is more than what they pay for GitHub pro.
The federated forge ecosystem can benefit if we provide forge-agnostic endpoints that resemble GitHub’s API. This way, third-party SaaS can be modified to work with all federating forges with minimal modifications.
