When looking at a repo, I would like to know a list of known forks of it to see if there are some other features/bugfixes implemented somewhere by someone. Other forges have it, but I am not sure how trivial it is here.

both are possible! the repo record includes a "source" field that should point back to the original. for users that would like to opt-out, we can simply remove the field (or they could just clone and push again i suppose).
the initial idea with the "source" field was to have a choice: the "source" could be a fork, a mirror, an import etc.

Ah great, I just found the "source" field now, so for the first part, it is just a matter of adding an element in the appview to show the count next to fork button, clicking which would list the forks?
yup that should be about it!
Given there is a count of stars, probably also as list of users who stared a repo, it might be possible to do something similar for forks?
Also, if would be nice if the fork has an option to be opted out of the fork-network if they want to for privacy reasons?
