One thing that I haven't quite understood is why more projects don't host their own git services on their own project website. Are there any specific challenges or is it just because of the maintenance overhead?

Maintenance overhead, plus:

- convenience (everyone already has a GitHub account and is familiar with the platform) - discussions platform (issues, prs, discussions) - CI (GitHub Actions)

It's already there, and it's free for the most part. Why would I bother hosting my own?
