I don't have an exhaustive list, but the computing activities that first
come to mind, that I've already mentioned in this thread, are patch
merging and CI/CD.

There may be more, even though most of the computing done by forges is
publishing and communication, which are not SaaSS because they are
activities that necessarily involve other parties, so they can't be a
single party's computing.
