It's a rather unique limitation that no other project out there will really have. I don't think this has to completely rule out the use of a forge. But in my opinion it completely rules out any forge that is run by a for-profit company and that isn't completely open source. So GitLab, GitHub and Bitbucket are not really an option in my opinion. That still leaves other forges like SourceHut, Gogs or Forgejo. But the benefit becomes at least a bit more questionable as the barrier for entry is again higher in that context -- after all most people only know about the large forges out there, and creating a new account raises the bar.
