Re: salsa.debian.org Gitlab instance review?

[bill-auger]

i do not believe that the debian salsa instance is open to the
public, nor for arbitrary purposes - AFAIK, it is exclusive for
debian packaging and debian-specific projects

also, it appears to me, that the gitlab software is not modified
- the front page still reads "welcome to gitlab", for example;
which is likely only a simple configuration change - if even
that was kept as the generic default, it is not likely that any
significant changes were made to the source code - if that is
the case, then there would be nothing unique to evaluate, other
than the registration/login mechanisms

the criteria re: license options, is mainly about the
pre-populated list of licenses that one may (or must) choose,
when creating a new repo - the list should not offer any option
which would withhold any of the four freedoms, eg: "No License",
or any with a "non-commercial" restriction; and it must
recommend the GPL at least as prominently as other options -
IMHO, that criteria could be satisfied/invalidated by simply not
offering any such list of license options, as with the pagure
forge

IMHO, if any new services are to be added to the list, the most
interesting would be pagure.io, notabug.org, and sr.ht
