@nytpu This post is very misleading. GNU does not have any list of ‘free software code forges’. They have a list of ‘GNU Ethical Repository Criteria Evaluations’, where they rate services for the purpose of hosting their own packages. The criteria include software freedom, but they also include other things they care about.

One of those things is that people shouldn’t be ‘saying “Linux” without “GNU” when referring to GNU/Linux’. Presumably they want people to call Linux (the kernel) ‘Linux’, and call complete operating systems other names (be it ‘GNU/Linux’, ‘UNIX-like systems’, or something else).

Moreover, failing to meet that criterion won’t even exclude you from the list; it’ll just prevent you from achieving the best rating. The reason sourcehut was not on the page for a long while is because updating it takes a long time. It is now listed as the second best option (after GNU’s own Savannah), as others have pointed out.
