I think the main reason why we don't already have it on Pagure

that we don't want to be dependent of our own infrastructure to host
this repo. It currently lives on the batcave01 host which is the box
we use to deploy our infrastructure. So to me if we are going to host
this repository on a git forge I think using an external service
would make sense.

Of course we would then be dependent on a third party
Well, since git itself is a distributed scm, we aren't really
dependent. I bet there are many many copies of the Ansible repo on all
of our laptops (I have it on my laptop and on a local repospanner forge
in my house right now!). So even if we had it on Git* and that thing
went down, we still have like a hundred other copies of it.
I think that the % of availability of GitHub or GitLab is much
higher
than ours, they have dedicated teams working on making sure their
service is available when we struggle to keep all our infra running.
Also their main business and expertise is to run a git forge service,
they have the infrastructure and the hardware for that, while our
main business is to build and release a Linux distribution (A really
good one :-)

After I am not really interested in a long debate in regards of
where
that repo should be hosted, to me what matters is that we should have
the Fedora Community in only one place be it GitLab like the Gnome
community or GitHub where we already have fedora-infra, fedora-cloud,
fedora CoreOS.
Yeah GitHub and GitLab are both great.
