Maintaining the Gitlab instance isn't the only issue. I've seen several people expressing their dislike about Gitlab. I'll list some of my own reasons. * The UI/UX is terribly bloated, making the whole product really cumbersome to work with. * TOTP is required before U2F/FIDO2 hardware keys can be used, and requests to revert that change have been ignored for years. * FIDO2 backed SSH keys are not supported. Reading the issue requesting it is not very confidence inspiring. * Installation instructions "curl ... | sudo bash". Seriously? So pretty please, let us not go the Gitlab route. Github UI/UX, while not being perfect, is way better than Gitlab. And do not mistake this for me advocating Github. I would still prefer to ditch Github and Gitlab entirely, stick to git send-email and patchwork, but it's becoming clear that this is an obstacle for newer generations. Many people seem to use the Gmail web interface, and like it. I find it horrible. I've gotten into a discussion on Twitter about the subject once, and was quickly blamed for excluding people using it. Apparently we are dinosaurs and need to come out of the stone age. Hence I've given up that fight. But if I have to choose between Github and Gitlab, Github wins.
