They offer free hosting to open source projects if the repo has more than
30 contributors and 2000+ stars.
We have 55 contributors and 214 stars. We could make a campaign to get more
stars :)
It could be interesting but I think we'd be better off hosting it ourselves since that
allows us more control: plugins we install, config, etc.
Now it would certainly relieve us from some maintenance such as upgrades!
A campaign to get more stars wouldn't hurt anyway ;)
Thanks
