Hi all, apparently there's been abuse of free CI minutes on gitlab.com to mine cryptocurrencies. The operators had to do something about it, see https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/05/17/prevent-crypto-mining-abuse/
In short, new users registered today or in the future have to add credit card information in order to validate the account *if* they want to use gitlab.com's shared runners. Everything else (opening issues, commenting, pushing code, etc.) remains as-is, and account validation will not charge the credit card. My understanding is that new contributors can continue to open MRs, but their pipelines won't run and it won't be possible to merge. In that case, I *think* it will be possible to start the pipeline as a member of the https://gitlab.com/lilypond group which will use our runners or be accounted on the group's quota. We'll find out once that happens... To reiterate, there should be (as of now) no change for existing groups or users. Nevertheless I'll finally try to get LilyPond accepted into GitLab's Open Source Program, as I already wrote in September... Cheers Jonas
