Forgejo forks its own path forward

Forgejo started as a soft fork of Gitea, in reaction to governance changes within the project. Over time, it developed its own identity, adopted both development and governance practices - to ensure the stability, quality, and openness of the project - that made it more challenging to remain a soft fork. In early 2024, a decision was made to become a hard fork, and for Forgejo to forge its own path going forward.
