For sure the Communition Edition offers self-hosting. But in face of
Benjamin article above, what is your opinion on its commercial
approach to provide only relevant features through its vendor lock-in
service?

I always wondered what would happen if the developers community
chooses to take its open-source Community edition and fork it into a
EE edition.

Reminds me so much of MySQL and why MariaDB is today a superior
DBMS...

And Redmine. Kallithea and Redmine seem like two great options. The
only problem with Redmine is that it does not provide any Git workflow
(correc tme if this is not true anymore).
