If you take a moment to visit tanelorn.city/library/ you'll find that I
haven't been duplicating the texts. They all live in a texts/
directory, and then I link to them from multiple indexes as
appropriate. For example, Emma Goldman's _Anarchy and Other Essays_
appears in both "anarchism.gemini" and "feminism.gemini".

I'm tempted to use SourceHut because I'm familiar with it, but it has
the potential to be a huge repository. While I'm a paying customer (but
only $5 a month) I don't want to put an unreasonable amount of strain
on the service. 

GitHub might be more convenient for potential contributors, but I'm not
sure I should entrust this to a Microsoft-controlled service.
