Ok, I think here's the misunderstanding: The Gitlab messages that you
can see currently on the list are from the main repository, not from a
contributor's private repo! Yes, there is currently quite a bit broken
in master, and that's why you get all these messages via the mailing
list. Before Philippe turned them on, they went almost unnoticed, apart
from some few people who used gitlab on their own. Now these problems
get at least some more attention ;-)
