It is minimal... so far. The project is still alpha and in development.
It should be easier to navigate the codebase for me, and probably others
since it is mostly Python.

I will prefer to not officially add that constraint. #scheme on freenode
does not mention it, but most people in there have a focus on
portability,
or interop.

Yes.

Indeed.

That will be a lot of work, even with account creation safe-guard.

Yes, I need to investigate this. That is especially a problem regarding
the paste service and the build service that may be used to mine crypto.

I would prefer to have no safe-guard, but keep an eye on usage, at least
to
get started.

I am not sure how upstream handle paste service, but the build service
will require
payment soon, among other things because it is above the average
compared
to the competition, but also to avoid cryptominers.
