It's certainly prolix, but it's a frequent topic of discussion that Emacs contribution is hindered by the patch model and copyright assignment. This gets rid of both at once, and forge[1] is (was?) a fairly common term, though the term may be falling out of use due to the increased popularity of the model. Loosely translated, "everyone talks about putting Emacs on GitHub, and no one does it, so here it is."
