I'm not willing to light myself on fire :)

My problem with GH-only is the loss of history: we'll be browsing
commits and finding links to still unexistent or completely unrelated
issues, unless there's a plan to deal with that.

Gitea is handling that correctly at the moment.

Uhm... wrong (this mailing list is not there)

This is a scary thought.

My vote will be -0 as I still belive in do-ocracy but please find
a solution to the problem of cross-referencing commits to tickets
as I think that has a value.
