   "Repository name should contain only alphanumeric, dash ("-"), underscore ("_") and dot (".") characters."

   Hot take: we're too attached to the #Latin script. It's a historical accident that I can't call my #Git repo "привет" on a code #forge , and it's pushing a cool part the native cultures of billions of humans to the margin. Git itself can do it no problem!

   And why should Дима switch to Latin for naming project if John doesn't switch to #кириллица anyway?

     @dcz@fosstodon.org Just self-host your repositories using something simple like git-instaweb or cgit, those should be able to handle repos with such names just fine. All these extra fancy modern UIs are more limiting than necessary compared to "hey here's a patch over email enjoy" and a simple web interface that simply does the job and get out of the way.
