It's set to 0 by default, to avoid spammers uploading junk, or just 
people (ab)using it for non-ffmpeg things.

You can open issues and comment on existing PRs.
And also create PRs using the AGit workflow:
https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/agit-support/

The repo limit can manually be lifted per user. I preferred that 
approach vs. the Videolan approach of completely locking down the 
instance, and requiring admin approval for every single new user, which 
imo is more detrimental to new contributors than a ML.
