Others have already mentions gerrit, no need to review on the forge, and there’s as well gitweb. I imagine there exists many other solutions much better than the forge MR/PR. Particularly reviewing PRs on github is really messy for me. Depending on how complex the review might become I end up branching to the PR branch locally and checking the complex stuff locally without the forge.
And there are many many bug trackers much better than the issue trackers. Bugzilla actually has kept improving, though I believe it might be too much for small projects, but there are many more.
I do agree with the article writer that one really needs to create too many accounts already, GH from MS, Gitlab, sourcehut.org (I really like this one better, but still you need yet another account), codeberg, gitea, and some with different instances with different accounts each… It’s crazy, and now AI crawlers getting on them all, and also violating FLOSS licenses… Notice on distributed private repos it’s way harder for AI misbehavior and illegal behavior to do what it does in general.

You can’t use that to assert that your view about not having something is correct.
IMO a bug tracker and PR review system are essentially and cannot be taken away. It would seem like most of the world agrees with me.

That’s just assembling a forge from pieces…

So, Fossil is perfect?
Fossil has a lot of features and config knobs.
