hg.sr.ht would not exist if not for being community maintained; the cost/benefit ratio does not work out in its favor were we to maintain it internally. The deal is that we provide infrastructure and operations but that the software itself is maintained by the community that needs it. I think this is an advantage of SourceHut's free software model and ethic that allows people to build what they need and to get its infrastructure needs met in a way that wouldn't be possible, for example, on GitHub.
