Of course.  I’m just saying that this is automatic with Github.  Everyone who 
uses the service automatically gets a public-facing repo.  When a Github user 
clones your project to hack on it, then commits their changes, they’re public, 
ready to be pulled back into the master repo.

With Fossil, the repo hosting the main project may be public, but if some 
random user anonymously clones the repo, hacks on it, then checks their changes 
in, those changes are stuck in their own private clone.  I can’t pull from it.  
They have to push it to me somehow.

Chiselapp may help with this, but it’s a little tough to recommend it, since it 
seems to be on shaky financial footing.

I’d prefer a federated model anyway.  I’m happy to let people check their 
changes into their own private clone.  I just want a one-line command I can 
give to my anonymous cloners that they can use to send me a copy of what they 
have wrought, when they think they’ve done something that should go upstream.
