Yeah, waiting for this too, feels like the final piece of the puzzle. Tracking issue from Codeberg + more general information about the effort around the the ecosystem:

- https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/59 ("[FEAT] implement federation")

- https://forgefed.org/

Given how slowly it progresses in Forgejo, there are better alternatives - Radicle[1] (full decentralization, not a federation) and Tangled[2] (federation).

Final piece of what puzzle?

We can do big federated/distributed development with git at the project level. See the linux kernel.

If the goal is fancy UI then there are alternatives.

If the goal is to do a big multi-git with cross repo issue tracker, then that implies either:

- you're a public site for random repos like codeberg

- you're a special purpose forge and identity management is a big issue you want full control over.

IMO - For this to work, they should go with the latter and not try to offload identity into some federated scheme.
