I posted in November a similar news:
https://ziglang.org/news/migrating-from-github-to-codeberg/

D just moved to github from bugzilla, and there is a lot of 
investment going into the release processes and CI testing and 
what not, so I do not expect D to be able to move anytime soon, 
but a healthy discussion about ideal (coding) world would be very 
welcome.

E.g., it is one thing to have a public git repository (so that 
people can see what's in, but also bots/crawlers), and another 
thing is if a company (e.g., Microsoft) collects behavior of 
logged-in people on their git-platforms, and their interaction 
with other people, and matches it with all the ad-profiles (and 
other profiles as well).
