This is my biggest problem with Gitlab and github alternatives. Multiple accounts on every single instance you want to contribute to. It's a pain
Gitlab could've worked on federation years ago, but they sat on their hands for at least 7 years until an external contributor decided he would implement it. Good on the dude, but fuck gitlab for being so passive about it for all these years.
Wah really? I contribute to, like countless projects on github. Sometimes just a comment in a discussion or a single line pull request and then never again... gitlab sounds horrible.
Yep, they completely ignored that aspect for maybe a decade. One poor, unaffiliated dude is finally taking it upon himself to implement it while Gitlab engineers cheer him on. IMO it's their biggest oversight and misprioritisation.
