Hot take: we're too attached to the #Latin script. It's a historical accident that I can't call my #Git repo "привет" on a code #forge , and it's pushing a cool part the native cultures of billions of humans to the margin. Git itself can do it no problem!
And why should Дима switch to Latin for naming project if John doesn't switch to #кириллица anyway?
@dcz Would it help if repository names would support more characters, while profile and org names would not?
This might be actually worth a consideration.
In recent years, there have been a lot of attacks by using lookalike unicode characters, so although technically feasible, many fear to accept non-ASCII characters.

@Codeberg I think it would be a very good first step. There are good reasons for not internationalizing domains. That's all because the namespace owner does not vet the entries.
In case of projects belonging to a user, the user *does* control the entries, so I'm not seing any downsides.
