For https://robigalia.org/ https://robigalia.org/, I decided to go with GitLab for a few reasons:
1. Free software needs free tools (I did not consider GitHub or Bitbucket at all).
2. Excellent team management and access control.
3. Excellent integration of their CI in the interface, with ability to run own build servers ("runners", in their jargon). This is critical, because setting up the toolchain needed to build takes some time, and I can use the beefy hardware I already have, without having to setup jenkins.
4. Lovely UI.
The only real alternative in this space without setting up custom infrastructure is Savannah.
Or, if willing to compromise on principles, GitHub, which has a lot of incremental downgrades compared to GitLab.
