We are currently discussing/voting on governance amongst the maintainers, after which I'm sure there will be an update to CONTRIBUTING.md.

In the meantime, I'm not entirely sure what would be changed in the README, do you have suggestions?
Just mentioning Gitea Ltd?

Then maybe I misunderstood the organization.
I thought the maintainers/admins of this repo here at github do work for "Gitea Limited".

If they are not maybe you should write a small section about the "relation" between this repo and "Gitea Limited" and its current state.

Maybe it is not clear for all persons.

btw: Because of "Gitea Limited" there was a fork out of Gitea created named "Forgejo". So there happens a lot around and it is sometimes hard for coming-by-users to be aware of all details.

Currently (as far as I know) there are three maintainers who work for the company, and a few others who are being compensated on a part-time contract basis (paying open source developers 🥳)

I think this will likely happen once we have concluded the maintainer governance discussion, at least in some form. 🙂

We are aware, and it has been an interesting time trying to keep all the details sorted. 😅

(OK, edit with details)

Some people of the fork Forgejo, they are lying about Gitea.

Please see how they lie, I am NOT.

I think we've gathered and responded to what will happen to clarify this issue, so I'm going to lock it as further discussion likely won't yield any further results.

For any other concerns, I think there are other public spaces that could probably be used that are better than a GitHub issue.
