I understand the irony but here's the case where most Gitlab users only have account with their company's self hosted gitlab platform and hence can't contribute to FOSS on Gitlab unless they create another account.
I hosted it on Gitlab for OSS visibility and get more users contributing to the project.
Glab is a simple and elegant GitLab CLI tool written in Go (golang) for creating and managing issues, merge requests, and a lot more... Do give it a try. Your feedback is much appreciated.
