Weirdly there are separate controls for project and repository
visibility, and the latter was set to "Only project members" for some
reason. Fixed, thanks!

Yeah, toss-up really. The glx code drop has both the client library and
server support, so it's not entirely one or the other. libGL used to
live only in the X11 monolith, and (iirc) we moved it to Mesa during
m12n so it lived near the DRI drivers since that interface kept
growing.
