Permissions and access still needs to be managed and abuse mitigated.
gitlab.xfce.org is a self-hosted instance of GitLab and we have to take preventative measures to deal with the creation of spam accounts. Contributors can either do that with SSO from an account they have at either gitlab.com or github.com. This does not require Xfce dev intervention.
If one does not want to use SSO, they can contact us on Matrix and an account will be created manually.
P.S. Xfce does not have any employees. We are all volunteers.
