Anyway, the original topic is still important. To my mind Codeberg is far superior to commercial solutions for an open-source community like ours. The Free Pascal/Lazarus community is unique in that it consists of a high percentage of open-source friendly participants. This fact reflects a certain mindset which is highly compatible with Codeberg's philosophy, not so much with commercial providers like GitLab or even MS GitHub. Although a migration always is accompanied by friction, it may be the most authentic choice.

Marco has already explained it. We moved, we are done with that.
There is currently (and foreseeable) no reason to move again.

Even if (and I have not compared myself / so I don't know) there was something better about using Codeberg (for either the community, or us, or for all), there is also something better about bugs fixed or features implemented. Our choice of making improvement goes to the latter.

In case you missed it, we have not managed to do even ONE release since we moved to Git (independant of the backend). We will for sure not do another move in the foreseeable future until there is a really significant need.

Though we do plan to host a mirror on Codeberg.

I can understand that and really do not expect a change or move at the moment. My contribution to the discussion has been a try to widen the discussion at another angle (philosophical view). If you agree with my point of view on that, one could keep that in mind (e. g. if GitLab is for whatever reason no option anymore).

Nevertheless, I keep hoping for the first "Git release" and a running Codeberg mirror. :)
