Forge is a newish term for systems like github, gitlab, forgejo, gitea, etc that provide source control, project management, issues, and discussion features for projects.
And more to the point, Forge is a free, open-source server that allows players to install and run Minecraft mods. It was designed with the intent to simplify compatibility between community-created game mods for Minecraft: Java Edition.
It sounds like maybe OP and their crew were maintaining Minecraft compatibility via e-mail prior to the release of Forge.
I’ve not heard of this before, and a search finds a lot about Minecraft?

Wait does that mean comment thread OP isn’t using any of those things?
It’s not uncommon for older projects to use plain git, patch files, and email groups. Linux kernel development still gets done that way every day.
Ah right. I thought you meant that there was no project management or revision system. That does make more sense
