The probleme with having your own selfhosted of gitlab or gitea instance 
is that, as far a I know, it would require everybody to create an account 
before evne being able report bugs. And I would definetly not want to 
create an account somewhere just for reporting a bug once. And I am sure 
I'm not the only one.
