1) Not related to the github thing (this move happened last week...)

2) They moved when GNOME moved to gitlab.gnome.org.

They moved (gnome and gimp) the day before Bloomberg announced the possibility (which is now a certainty) of Microsoft buying GitHub.

Is it random ? What are the odds ?

Of course it can be random, but I doubt it (my opinion)

The Gnome project started the process that resulted in the move to GitLab a bit over a year ago. [0] That's a long time for Free Software advocates to stay quiet about Microsoft secrets.

This happened last day 31. Feels like karma whoring to me.
gimp is powerful, but not intuitive to use, I wish there is an 'easygimp' version that is geared towards basic usage.
