There is actually nothing much to volunteer to, I already mentioned all the 
essential points: gitlab.com website is unusable without ad-hoc software, which 
is not free because no sources are provided (sourcemaps are bogus).

There are some issues (long discussions, for instance), but yes, usable.  Plus, 
their official desktop client is nonfree merely to the same extent as Firefox 
is nonfree, that is because of trademarks.

What spoils the things is the registration, which contains sophisticated 
CAPTCHA.  Not the Googleʼs one like on gitlab.com, yet it imposes you to run 
javascripts, which are not free.  And due to the very nature of CAPTCHA, I bet, 
there is no chances to work around it.

sf.net is also quite freedom-friendly nowadays, except, again, the CAPTCHA 
while registration.
