I might be one of the few that is intrigued by this being that it’s Java but this looks really neat. Does it do git repositories like gitea, GitHub, etc, or is it more of a project management site for the repositories? They describe it as “code review”, so I wasn’t sure.
I’m a little put off on the google connection but it seems like it could run rather independently.
It's hyper-focused on code review and CI integration, which it does really well.
It's not focused on all the other stuff that people think of in code forges (hosting the README in a pretty way, arbitrary page hosting, wiki, bug tracking, etc.) but can be integrated with 3rd party implementations of those fairly trivially.

Yeah, its actually a really healthy open-source project, google contributes usually around 40% of the code, but you have other companies like GerritForge(disclaimer, I work here), Nvidia, SAP, Qualcomm, Wikimedia foundation, all contributing heavily to it.
It necessarily hosts a git server (using jgit), but the primary interface is as a code review tool.
even browsing the git repos it hosts uses an embedded version of another tool (gitiles).
