also most manager are using `hostType` to find hostrules

in that case we need to sort matchHost too, so longest url comes first

I've created a PR to solve the datasource part, please try - https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/pull/17179

i think with our new exec wrapper we should simply combine stdout and stderr to a single string. that way error Handling is much more easy.

not all tools are writing errors to stderr

Changelogs fetch needs a major rewrite before we can support new sources.

No, as changelogs are a completely different concept in renovate. There is no manager involved. We don't plans to allow managers to intercept changelog processing.

i think that can be improved in a later PR. for first implementation it would be ok to force the manual config

> (Also, we use .gitconfig and config envs in our docker containers that are running dependabot and it works fine, so they certainly could be an option for renovate also.)...

1. yes, you can validate it in `initPlatform` like `token` https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/blob/5bbb4c60546c4b3726e2d4ed6fc7092806bf36c6/lib/modules/platform/gitea/index.ts#L181-L183
