Hi, all:

The topic of Gitlab comes up quite a bit recently, so I think it's worth
having a separate conversation about it. Kernel.org provides gitolite
hosting, which works great for most "old skool" maintainers who are
comfortable with "everything over email" (see Greg's talk about patches
carved into stone tablets [1]). However, just in case I'm stuck in an
echo chamber, I wanted to ask if providing a more "holistic" platform
like Gitlab (or one of its alternatives like Pagure, pending evaluation)
is something we should be actively considering to be offered centrally
as a standard kernel.org service.
