I am looking for recommendations for an open source self-hosted version control system source code hosting service. I found a few, but I can't decide on which one to pick:

If there's a better one than the ones I've listed here, I'd love to hear about it!

I care primarily about privacy and security, if that makes any difference.

A pro of Sourcehut is that EVERYTHING can be done by email. So, if you use their issue tracker and want other people to be able to submit issues, they can do it without making an account.

    Sourcehut also supports Mercurial, so you also have an option to the herd mentality.

    Sourcehut also has zero, or almost zero, JavaScript in the interface, so it doesn't suck

    Sourcehut is also componentized, so you can mix and match the pieces you want or need:

    • VCS hosting
    • masking list management
    • issue management
    • build server
    • man server

    Sourcehut is by far the best hosted VCS option at the moment. The Mercurial support alone puts it miles ahead of the others, which are all hobbled by tight coupling to git.
