mat2/doc/comparison_to_others.md, branch mastermat2 is a metadata removal tool, supporting a wide range of commonly used file formats, written in python3: at its core, it's a library, used by an eponymous command-line interface, as well as several file manager extensions.

While the folks running 0xacab are much more lovely than the github ones, this
project has outgrown the former:
- Github offers beefy continuous integration, make it easier to run the
testsuite on every python version, instead of using a weird docker-based
contraption. Moreover, I'd rather burn some Microsoft money than 0xacab one.
- Opening an account on 0xacab is non-trivial (by design), making it tedious
for people to report issues and contribute to mat2.
- Gitlab is becoming unbearably slow and convoluted, even compared to Github's
awful Copilot/AI push.
It's a sad state of affairs, but it's a pragmatic decision. People who don't
have a Github account can still report issues and send patches by sending me an
email.
