State of federation in git forges (lemmy.nocturnal.garden)

I'm about to set up a new git forge for my own stuff. Most forges already have the basic functionality I want (nice ui for merge requests etc).

What I'm looking forward to is federation. Create a Pull request for a repository hosted on another instance without needing to create an account over there would be a game changer.

Gitea had some plans but I don't see anything happening since three years in their dedicated forum

Gitlab has a dedicated epic but some official said it's not a priority last year

Forgejo has a roadmap and a Federation section in each of their montly reports (latest). However, the roadmaps mentions that Federated PRs are in the far future.

From this it seems that Forgejo is the only one activetly working on Federation.

Anything I'm missing? Anyone involved in any of those willing to tell me more? Especially if all of them are working in a similar direction where not only decentralization but also federation (e.g. between Gitlab and Forgejo) is possible?

On a side note, I found the ForgeFed project which is an ActivityPub extension, not sure if any of the forges wants to implement this. Their example forge Vervis is not reachable.

Its hard to get into but it seems to be the first real federation around more than just git.

To me its not worth it unless they put real effort making it easier to use. Otherwise email is just as good. And git is already awesome.
