Would love to be able to use my GitHub username on GitLab as well. Currently occupied by a dormant user with zero activity over the last 10 months, no repos except a fork of GitLab CE and no added commits to it. Of course I don't know if he has private repos or not.

We're considering adopting the same policy, see the issue linked above.

  That would be amazing. (I'm not sure why I got downvoted into oblivion. I stated my honest opinion--I haven't signed up for a lot of services where I can't use the username I want.)

    I can't speak for anyone else, but it seems exceptionally ridiculous to me that you'd make a choice of which technology to use based on whether or not your username is available. I don't know if I'd downvote anyone for that, but it did inspire a laugh out loud moment.

    Dude, I can't even use my preferred username here (it's too long). Worse things happen at sea.
