I'm not making a real proposal for "sr.ht" at this time, just raising it
as one collaboration software ("forge") that seems to get its goals
exactly right (in my opinion anyway):

It is admittedly alpha at this point, hence likely unsuitable for
production use. If it were a mature project, it would be extremely
attractive to me. I hope I can keep an eye on it over time.

Thanks,
