I ask because I have no plausible answer: What does someone stand to gain by DDoSing github?

Why is this happening to them almost every day? Is someone jealous? Proving a point? If so, what point?

Surely by now, GitHub must know who's responsible and putting more in place to mitigate as much as possible before this happens. Right?

This is getting really problematic. It stops our whole team every time.

Anybody has experience with Gitlab and Gitlab CI? How's the flow compared to Github, especially for pull requests, commenting and collaboration?
