To summarise "The Forgejo project is a community-driven free software project that aims to provide a code forge platform similar to GitHub and to be a drop-in replacement for Gitea."

As someone who hasn't been following this: what's the split look like between Forgejo and Gitea for where the contributors are going?

Is is mostly going to Forgejo (other than Gitea Inc employees obviously), mostly staying with Gitea, a mix?

As a quick bias note, I am a Gitea maintainer, but a majority of frequent maintainers appear to be staying with Gitea so far.

That being said, Forgejo is a soft fork, so they will still benefit from those contributions.

Does any commit to forgejo benefit gitea ltd also? What about other way around (while gitea is still opensource - is it, btw?)

Or how does a soft fork work?
