Used the same as you, but I recently also joined Gitlab, run as a virtual cooperative corp, as some of my recent adopted upstreams are hosted there, and getting redundant release announcements is never a bad thing. I haven't yet added any projects there. GNOME projects are now hosted there, and Alibaba, IBM, and SpaceX use it, but as Gitlab servers are on Google Cloud, and subject to US embargos like BitBucket, GitHub, and SourceForge, a European mirror https://framagit.org/ (part of the Framasoft non-profit network) on Debian infrastructure, has been set up to bypass Google and the US, as well as allow access to/from embargoed countries. https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2018/05/31/welcome-gnome-to-gitlab/ https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2020/09/08/gnome-follow-up/ https://framagit.org/explore/projects?name=gnome-&sort=latest_activity_desc -- Take care.
