That’s my proposal: having more milestones for the Migration Paths.

Somehow, I’m a bit confused.  One argument is to say: Codeberg has a
nice API. Cool!  Therefore, on one hand, people™ can adapt their own
tools in order to exploit it.  However, on the other hand, people™
cannot exploit it to teach Mumi and/or etc/teams.scm.

Well, I do not see any drawbacks if we are crystal clear that Codeberg
and PR will be the main entry-point and the reference.

Cheers,
simon
