I can understand that work with other active contributors, but I agree with you that it is a daft state of affairs for a solo or mostly-solo project.

Though if you have your repo online even away from the big places, it will get hit by the scrapers and you will end up with admin to do because of that, even if it doesn't block your normal workflow because your main remote is not public.
