I mostly agree.

I prefer to privilege git, because anyone can host a git repository, not 
just GitLab or GitHub.

Then we just have to centralize a list of git repository urls somewhere. 
Each git repository will include one or more Gambas projects. Each 
Gambas project will be identified as part of that big repository through 
a special text file that will include a description of the project and 
some keywords.
