Thumbs up!

Any plans for "after 1.0"?

Also, will there be any shift in dev policies when 1.0 is hit?
Normally users expect higher stability and compatibility from 1.x
releases, compared to 0.x. On the other hand, I see pressure on
Kallithea maintainers to hasten integration of changes, shorten
reviews, etc. Those can be a bit contradictory.
