I believe the LF has already agreed to implement the hosting entirely with 
free software.  Naturally we should make sure that other requirements from 
https://www.gnu.org/software/repo-criteria.en.html such as "Does not 
discriminate against classes of users, or against any country. (C2)" and 
"Permits access via Tor (we consider this an important site function). 
(C3)" are met, though I don't expect problems there.  Several criteria are 
trivally met or inapplicable simply because they concern things that are 
beyond the scope of this proposed hosting (for example, recommending 
particular choices of license, or offering choices of license, is entirely 
outside the scope of what these hosting facilities do, just as it's 
outside the scope of what Sourceware does - those are criteria for 
general-purpose hosting sites that anyone might add a package to).
