Well, it's a one time thing for each user you want to add. Then if you
want to add a new repository, it also takes time, if you want to add
server-side commit hooks, I expect it would also need admin
intervention, ... Doing it once is fine, over time, I find this
annoying.
gitlab allows us to be much more reactive for all of this (did not check
server-side hooks though), which imo is a very useful improvement.
Do you think we are losing anything by moving our git from freedesktop
to some place else?
