True, but filling bugs, making pull requests, reviewing them and links to between projects ports much worse between forges.

To be fair, I think that is mostly a failure of git to take in these features to free them from the forges. Maybe radicle had a chance of fixing that, but…

Fossil does, but it follows a very different FOSS deveopment style, The Cathedral Style (Git follows the Bazaar style)

Yeah, and I think that nothing that is not git compatible has any chance

Fossil can export it's repos to git & import repos from git

Have I missed something? Does that mean I can use fossil to work on and contribute to git based projects seamlessly?

It's more like; you can maintain a mirror of your fossil project.

Sad, that is the feature that is really needed for an incremental transition. Without it, I do not see that adoption is actually plausible.

There's a hosting service called Chisel.
