Octvia works in the repo search for meh:
https://opendev.org/explore/repos?q=octavia&tab=
(from https://opendev.org/explore/repos)
I agree, openstack/octavia as a search term did not work. Maybe that's
an improvement we can make upstream. (the gitea upstream has thusfar
been very receptive and responsive to patches)
