Forgejo would have to be the main repo to enable merging pull requests.
We would then first need to shut down our current main repo on 
git.videolan.org and turn it into a mirror, or make it redirect to Forgejo.

Then we can just click merge on MRs, and I can enable branch protections 
again to disallow force pushes.

My understanding of this was it just being an extended test-drive, not a 
full on switch yet.
