Closing the PR without providing feedback beyond "needs further discussion" does not engender said further discussion.

PR isn't a place for discussion about what or how to implement change in the first place, that should be forum/mailing list/issues

and there is open issue for that discussion https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/8634

The response was, "needs a discussion," as in a post on `https://codeberg.org/forgejo/discussions`, rather than directly creating a PR.

There also was feedback saying approximately that they've been burned by security changes in the recent past and don't want to run into similar issues without due consideration.
