The Gitea team is full of crypto shillers.

Their founder claims to have invented Gogs (he was one of the early committers) when the original author is another engineer

Just to clarify, we (Gitea) are not crypto shillers, the linked post explicitly mentions not creating some scamcoin. Beyond that, we also haven't looked further into it as it became increasingly clear it was unwanted.

I'm unsure about the wording on Wikipedia, but I don't recall Lunny ever trying to take all the credit, just that he was an early and frequent committer.
