"Normal" VCS hosts (BitBucket, Codeberg, the increasingly "ask"-filled GitHub) are not as good about this as they could be. The README being scrolled offscreen by a file listing is unfriendly¹. I've seen so many cases of non-coders landing on a Github page and not understanding they need to be clicking on the "Releases" box on the right.
But SourceHut feels like, at a design level, it's intentionally hostile to non-coders.
¹ Bitbucket lets you set the wiki as the landing page. I miss that.

@mcc@mastodon.social I use fossil, which has flexible inbuilt web hosting, because I'm so far up the "why do it like everyone else does it when you can do something totally different" road I also self-host it on NetBSD. On a server I built myself. Including welding up the case from steel stock and painting it myself. Don't be me.
