#2I wonder how Gitea will hold up to all the traffic? Even Gitea hosts their stuff on Github.

Gitea is self-hosted, so Blender will be running their own instance.

#4Great news for self hosting and not sitting on and going all in on unreliable services like GitHub.

I don't believe Gitea is hosting on Github for traffic reasons but for feature completeness. Relevant issue is here[0].

That's not what parent means. Gitea is an alternative to GitHub, yet they use GitHub for hosting their code.
That kind of makes sense for disaster planning though.
If Gitea discovered some massive CVE, and volentarily went dark to fix it... They would want their code and fix hosted somewhere else.

Gitea does not use Github because the software can't handle their load requirements, but because they started using GH before Gitea had all the features they needed. They are actively working on hosting Gitea on Gitea, with the last piece being an importer to move over all their GH data.
Blender seems to have been ok manually migrating some things and abandoning other things, since they weren't likely to ever get a Phab->Gitea importer anyways.

This is a consolidation of the self-hosting ecosystem because Phabricator is ending support. It's not terrible but I wouldn't call it good let alone great news.
