I am not in the working group for collaborative work on FreeBSD infrastructure,
So I cannot help on this, to know where people in there are aiming at.

That said git is decentralized by nature so do not require forge A or B to be
usable.

while the pull request UI on github, gitlab, codeberg etc are convenient, there
are multiple mechanism available for anyone to share his work:

git send-email: your patches can be sent out directly to hum is willing to
receive them, so you can send this way to Gleb is needed.

provide your own git link to the requester of the patches, so Gleb can add a
remote to his setup and incorporate your changes (If I remember correctly
Christian you have a codeberg account, so that may work), this link could be
self hosted or any public git providers.
