> Seriously though the big problem to solve will be squatters, when there are three logical places for a module to be hosted
I suspect Codeberg, which is focused on free software, will frown on them. They already disallow mirroring.

I was slightly wrong. You can manually mirror things, but they have removed a feature that allowed one to automatically mirror repositories hosted elsewhere. It was originally intended as an ease of migration tool, but ended up consuming too many resources.
From their FAQ:
> Why can't I mirror repositories from other code-hosting websites?
> Mirrors that pull content from other code hosting services were problematic for Codeberg. They ended up consuming a vast amount of resources (traffic, disk space) over time, as users that were experimenting with Codeberg would not delete those mirrors when leaving.

In which direction? (I'd check myself but they're down...). That doesn't sound very open to me.
