I understood the issue itself, but my question was about how Git service
providers should approach in fulfilling the criteria. Would an advisory
be enough?

The GPLv3+ is not required in A-criteria, only encouraged.

I don't like the idea of Git service providers moderating works on the
basis if they have license information in the files or not, so I thought
the criteria is poorly worded.
