I’m a pretty active open source developer, having a couple reasonably popular projects myself and been a team member of an extremely success one. I’d say maybe one in one hundred projects I’m interested in is on gitlab.com. Last year they stopped allowing anonymous search on hosted issue trackers, and it took me the better part of a year to even notice (I posted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32252501 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32252501 when I did notice), and I only noticed it on a project that’s developed on GitHub but uses gitlab.com for issue tracking, a choice made back when GitHub’s issue tracker was a lot more primitive. That is to say, I had to search a gitlab.com issue tracker once in a whole year, while I search plenty of open source issue trackers all the time. That’s how irreverent gitlab.com for open source is at least to me. Disclosure: I host a GitLab instance at home.
