[zeromq-dev] decentralize git with pub/sub

[Esa HekmatiZadeh]

I checked gitlab service today and yes, gitlab also prevent Iranian access.
I'm not familliar with email based patching and development in this style,
also I think C4 requires bug tracking and pull request mechanism.
Harald is right and if you host gitlab yourself then you are free from
rules of hosting services.
It's not a matter if this host located in US, until it doesn't have any
trade. Like Savanneh service
