Two of GH's features that remain unreplicated are project discoverability and code search. It's still hard to discover FOSS projects scattered over hundreds of sites. There should be a single dedicated catalog.
As for search, perhaps each forge can index projects hosted on them. We could have a single meta search engine that collects the results for a query from all participating forges.

Probably is a bad sign in general though. Seems like now is a good time to begin the process of migrating away before they start requiring Microsoft accounts and stuff to use it. Better now with a slow, easy transition than later with a sudden fast and hard transition.
