I'm not sure we need an alternative. The methods for collecting
information make reporting a bit less than trivial and are certainly
are biased towards x86 / amd64 hardware. For instance:

    ERROR: This package is only available for these platforms:
*-*-i386 *-*-x86_64 *-*-aarch64*.
    ERROR: This package has set PKG_SKIP_REASON:
    ERROR: dmidecode-3.3nb1 is not available for NetBSD-9.0_STABLE-
sparc64

I’m cool with more interest in this but do we really need to
contribute further to the GitHub monoculture?

What is the better place for it?

Sometimes it's a pain to have left GitHub, simply because I'm no
longer able to open issues or make pull requests against projects
hosted there. But, since Microsoft aquired GitHub, the need to move
away from it was a priority.

Personally, I'm happy with codeberg.org

there's nothing wrong with dmesgd. in fact, this seems quite worse.
