The whole situation is bit unfortunate, as the announcement made it
seem like pagure.io is going away.
I mean, I have my issues with the announcement, but this seems like an
unfair criticism. The *first paragraph* ends with "We are opting for
GitLab for our dist git and project hosting and will continue to run
pagure.io with community assistance." Every other mention of pagure.io
clearly communicates that it will continue to run for at least a year
and the preference is to keep it running permanently with community
maintenance. I don't know where you get the idea that it is going away
from the announcement.
