I wholeheartedly agree about the need to slow down.

Moving from one repo that was created by the official maintainer and yet undocumented (there is no link to the GitLab repo from the official Gemini documentation) to another repo that is equally undocumented and run without any agreement by the bdfl, nor by the community, is not something to rush for.
