[Repo-criteria-discuss] Gitea self-hosted: suitable for C grade

[David Seaward]

Hi all,

I've completed an evaluation for Gitea, repository software intended
for self-hosting, to determine if it is suitable for ethical hosting.
By my measure it is suitable for C grade hosting (details below).

What would be a suitable way to indicate this in the Gitea
documentation, and possibly on the Gitea FSD page? I was thinking
something like:

"Based on a self-evaluation, your Gitea instance can achieve at least a
'C' grade using the GNU ethical repository criteria (below). If you
want to add your specific instance to the list of GNU evaluations, it
will need independent evaluation." (with appropriate links)

The assessment is listed below, and discussion can be found at
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/1524 (someone has already
mentioned a B grade assessment :)
