Myself and I assume others, who may correct me if I am wrong, still like
mailing lists. Therefore, I would be for keeping that as the primary way
to report bugs/send patches.

I don't think anyone will complain if the Codeberg interface leads to
more *quality* bug reports and patches, though. Some of us track the
pull requests and bugs on the GitHub mirror. But the closed history
there will show a lot of spam.
