What does HackerNews think of gitea?
Git with a cup of tea, painless self-hosted git service

Gitea project hosts its code on GitHub: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea. You must admit that is a bit ironic.

GitHub is not the only option for source code hosting. There are alternatives like GitLab, Bitbucket, and numerous smaller ones.
Codeberg is a fork of Gitea https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea which curiously uses GitHub for hosting.
I have to admit, if the GitHub repo is the main source for issues/PRs, it's a bit of a yellow flag that they're not dogfooding it.
That being said - if I didn't need easy CI support I'd probably be using Gitea instead of GitLab CE - GitLab CE is great but it's a resource hog and feels like it's getting slower over the years.
Well, for starters, there is GitLab which attempts to do a lot of what GitHub does, while allowing you to self host it: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab
In some respects, i'd say that it does things better, for example, GitLab CI seems way easier to use in comparison to GitHub Actions: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/
As far as alternative source code management platforms go, with some code review and issue management functionality added on top, there is also Gogs, which is a far more lightweight solution and better fits smaller deployments: https://github.com/gogs/gogs
It was also forked by the Gitea project, which is largely compatible with it but is also in active development: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea
Oh and there's also GitBucket which also attempts something similar to these: https://github.com/gitbucket/gitbucket
Now, you can probably hook those up with Jenkins or most other CI solutions, but personally i rather enjoyed how Gogs/Gitea integrated with Drone, which allowed for container based builds (no more plugin hell like in Jenkins): https://github.com/drone/drone
Then, you can throw in some additional tools, for example, for code analysis you could use SonarQube ( https://github.com/SonarSource ) and for security scanning of infrastructure you could look at OpenVAS ( https://github.com/greenbone ).
Oh, and on the organizational side something like Rocket.Chat ( https://github.com/RocketChat ) or Mattermost ( https://github.com/mattermost ) for communication and perhaps OpenProject ( https://github.com/opf/openproject ) for project management.
And there you have it! An open source based workflow that allows you to do most of the stuff that GitHub would let you! Of course, concessions might need to be made depending on what your definition of "open" is and whether you're okay with certain features being restricted to paid tiers in some software; if you do have a problem with that, there's also the possibility of looking at some libre alternatives, though that might lead to the occasional half-dead piece of software that doesn't really have financial incentives for maintenance anymore on anyone's part.
That said, i believe that few choose this approach, because it's somewhat complicated to run all of that and all of the sudden you become responsible for your own SLAs, which many don't want. It's often the same reason why people just provision VPSes from AWS, instead of running their own servers in a server room. I think the amount of links to GitHub for open source above speaks volumes about the state of the industry.
I don't think that there's an easy answer to the implications of this, maybe people should just familiarize themselves with the concept of "Service as a Software Substitute", so that they're at least aware of the trade-offs that their choices have: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-s...

FWIW these are available in Gitea, along with some other Gitlab features that require payment.
It's a much more lightweight alternative, though.
Also, a recommendation for the youtube_dl crew is to use a self-hosted solution (if GitHub/GitLab/SourceForge wont do). Find a cheap Linux hosting provider and run Gitea on it: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea
It's the best tips I can give for now.
Does Gitea[1] count (fork of Gogs)?
I understand your point (I love Python, too), but I can't help finding some amusement in it since it has been done. :)

This is a list of webapps written in go. I didn't check the source and can't guarantee it's good quality
Gogs: 24,564 stars, 602 issues, has a features list. https://github.com/gogits/gogs
Gitea: 5,971 stars, 733 issues, doesn't have a features list. https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea
Gogs features (from README):
Activity timeline
SSH and HTTP/HTTPS protocols
SMTP/LDAP/Reverse proxy authentication
Reverse proxy with sub-path
Account/Organization/Repository management
Add/Remove repository collaborators
Repository/Organization webhooks (including Slack and Discord)
Repository Git hooks/deploy keys
Repository issues, pull requests, wiki and protected branches
Migrate and mirror repository and its wiki
Web editor for repository files and wiki
Jupyter Notebook
Two-factor authentication
Gravatar and Federated avatar with custom source
Mail service
Administration panel
Supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite3, MSSQL and TiDB (via MySQL protocol)
Multi-language support (29 languages)
Gitea with all its 2+ maintainers can't take care of that?
It's hard to do a comparison without that list. Are users expected to install and find out?
But be aware, gitea (like gogs) does NOT cache SQL queries, so you are heavily limited by that. I can’t get it to serve > 200 pageloads per second on my system, while even a normal Grails projects manages to serve 3000 (with more complicated queries).
