I wish more would use self hosted solutions like Forgejo (or a gitweb if they don't need a complex system) and simply mirror their projects on codeberg and github for the exposure.

Gentoo apparently do it that way already:
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/
https://codeberg.org/gentoo/gentoo (mirror)
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo (mirror)

I also like how they’re doing it, definitely the way to go

thats actually smart for small projects, your selfhost is the source of true and you take advantage of github for exposure and backups
