If your IP (and possible your browser) looks “suspicious” or has been used by other users before, you need to add additional information for registration on gitlab.com, which includes your mobile phone number and possibly credit card information. Since it is not possible to contribute or even report issues on open source projects without doing so, I do not think any open source project should use this service until they change that.

Because it was usable software or because they’re devs and can’t spell for shit? What skeeved you out a decade ago that still persists now (i.e. ‘always’) ?
