I understand and respect this point of view. However, I also recognize
the value of drive-by contributions (which may turn into more regular
contributions) that, as I understand it, are much more likely to happen
on GitHub than GitLab. We shouldn't ignore that as more involvement in
the project would be a wonderful outcome from changing the project hosting.
