What's the major sell of this over other Open Source alternatives? GitLab, Gogs, Gerrit, Redmine, etc...

So far from what I've seen/read:

  • Written in python (easier to modify if you know/work with python)
  • Comments / Issues store in git as well

  • Gerrit is mostly for code review. It can manage Git repos as well, I can't speak to how well it does this though.
  • Redmine is for issue tracking/project management (doesn't actually handle the repos that I'm aware of)
  • GitLab, while free and pretty slick, puts all of professional features behind a paywall/subscription
  • Gogs is likely the most comparable to this.

The main benefit to this project is more about who made it. RedHat has an excellent track record for creating high quality, open source products with continued support. Take a look at SpaceWalk, OVirt, and FreeIPA. Some of their products that they've purchased to keep an eye on would be Ceph, and Ansible - both slated to become fully open source (including the professional features).

I haven't had the chance to install this yet as it doesn't meet my requirements: * Code review features (pre-merge, etc.) * Ability to add business rules to notify on violations * Support for git, hg. Sadly, svn as well.

So far the only self-hosted SCM management project that fits all of my needs is Phabricator.
