In the Kallithea instances that I am administering, I am using the
following old patch:

settings: add non-publishing setting for use with evolve

NOTE (tdescham): to enable this setting, one needs to save the VCS settings at
least once, even though there is no new configurable option.

As noted in the commit msg, you need to save the VCS settings of
Kallithea at least once to make this have effect, but after that, the
Kallithea repos will have phases.publish set to False.

Best regards,
