> GitLab, a software product used by 2/3 of all enterprises, ... This claim is false. The linked survey shows that GitLab has a 2/3 market share in self-hosted Git providers. Not every enterprise self-hosts a git repository.
Why let the truth get in the way of a good press release!? /s
I don't actually understand this. Are they referring to the agreements for contributing to GitLab itself, or for contributing to things hosted on GitLab, which surely have nothing to do with the hosting at all?
Yeah, I'm not sure what they mean by "migrate their communities". I'm not exactly real clear on "... and open source projects" either. Debian used to use Alioth [0] pretty extensively. Maybe they're getting rid of that and moving everything that was on there to GitLab. I get that this is a press release but it could be a bit more informative, IMO.

No automatic migration is planned - you need to migrate the repos you are responsible for yourself.

Even if they adopt gitlab for version control and pull requests, it's a very misleading headline that the "debian community" will be migrated to gitlab.

You're saying it's a falsehood and Nicole Plati, our media contact, gave alternative facts to that.
I've been a fan of GitLab's for quite a while (mostly due to your transparency; I just created an account a few weeks ago to try it out) but -- unless you are claiming that GitLab is being used by two-thirds of "all enterprises" -- this is very misleading, IMO.
The rationale analysis they published via the linked article is interesting: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zpjDzL7yhGBZz3_7jCjWLfRQ...
I can't help to think that Gitlab is more and more eating Github's lunch. I wonder why we see so little from Github to get out of that situation.
I don't think GL will ever have anything much in the hosted sector, for two main reasons:
1. GH's infrastructure is far ahead of GL, and 2. the social factor also affects companies that have private repositories, but also public ones - it wouldn't make sense to only move the private repositories to save money
When we think about the self-hosted, then it's possible, but I'm not sure if that would significantly affect GH, which has a different business model.

Because github still has 99% of that market. Just look at how many repositories opened by Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, NSA, GCHQ and 100s of others big players are on Github and how many on Gitlab.
Yes but how many of those are just mirrors and sources for non-contributors to find the code. See Linux Kernel as an example, the Kernel is mirrored on GitHub but none of the actual development takes place there.
