Gentoo’s 2025 Report: Financial Health and the Push Away From GitHub (linuxiac.com)

Gentoo closed out 2025 by publishing a comprehensive year-end report with two highlights that were mostly interesting. Here they are.

Among the most consequential developments, the project outlined plans to move its repository mirrors and contribution workflows away from GitHub to Codeberg, underscoring broader concerns about platform direction and tooling autonomy.

The proposed migration away from GitHub is motivated primarily by community resistance to features that could compel the use of proprietary tooling. Gentoo’s leadership has cited ongoing attempts by GitHub to push Copilot and related services as a factor in the decision to adopt Codeberg, a Forgejo-based hosting service.

Seeing major projects move away from GitHub is so encouraging, I love it. But hopefully people also see that codeberg can use some donations to be able to handle the new traffic. (Which reminds me, I need to do that...)

None of their expenses mention developer pay or salaries. Is the entire thing voluntary?
