I guess it's a bit late, but do we really need categories on gitea?

The simple world I would have expected:

  git clone https://gitea.osmocom.org/libosmo-pfcp
  git clone https://gitea.osmocom.org/osmo-upf

The world we live in:

  git clone https://gitea.osmocom.org/celullar_infarsturcure/libosmo-pfcp
  git clone https://gitea.osmocom.org/osmocom/osmo-upf
  git clone https://gerrit.osmocom.org/libosmo-dsp

and

  works: git clone   git://git.osmocom.org/osmo-upf
  fails: git clone https://git.osmocom.org/osmo-upf
  works: git clone https://git.osmocom.org/libosmo-pfcp

While I'm at it: do we have a designated primary git place for Osmocom?
De facto the answer seems to be: gerrit, except when it's not on gerrit.

Because of the above issues, currently there is a wave of patches rolling out
which edit build scripts and READMEs to change git URLs -- it feels wrong that
this is necessary.

It seems the topic needs some clarification, and maybe it is still possible to
simplify the git structures?

- remove the layer of categories from gitea?
- move gitea/cellular-infrastraucute/* to gitea/osmocom/* ?
- point git.osmocom.org at gitea.osmocom.org/osmocom/ ? (cgit.osmocom.org still 
works)
- keep cgit as the primary git place, gitea as users' playgrounds?

(not sure if possible or good ideas)
