I'm quite surprised that people seem to love the content of the
current homepage so much. Could someone explain why they want to see
this full list of commitfests as the first page you see? I feel like
I'm missing something here.

To be clear, I'm totally fine with moving the dashboard to a different
URL, definitely for now at least. But I personally would like to have
a homepage that shows me information that I come to the site to see,
not just a bunch of links to which a new link gets added each month.

Also having a homepage that shows completely different info for logged
in users and non-logged in users is pretty common. e.g. GitHub shows
you a similar dashboard when you're logged in, but shows a page with
generic information and a signup/signin link when you're not.
