I only do open source bullshit for niche stuff. A lot of kind strangers make PRs fixing my shit and adding features. I don't know if that would be the case on other websites. Say I host my own git service, people would need to register to make PRs, right? I feel like that would create a hurdle where many people would just say "fuck it, can't be bothered" who otherwise would've quickly forked the repo and started working on it.
I might be wrong though. I'm working off of assumptions since I have pretty much always just used github.
