📄 Description

Previously, the initial creation and population of the repo indexer occurred synchronously during startup, so that gitea was not accessible until the indexer was fully populated.

Since populating the indexer can take a while (several minutes, or even longer), it is better to populate the indexer asynchronously, so that gitea is immediately accessible. Creating the indexer is fast, so we continue to do that synchronously for simplicity.
