I assume Gitlab likes money. :P

$100/month per user for Ultimate (the only offering that meets the "requirements")... 2339 packages in FAS... so $233900 * 12 works out to roughly $3 million per year just for Fedora, assuming we never let anybody other than approved Fedora packagers use the instance. Or in terms of salary: a couple dozen software developers, more or less.

I wonder if that's really more cost-effective than hiring a couple more infrastructure devs....

I mean, I'm assuming we will be deploying RH's crack negotiating teams at this :)

Another is requirement 19 ("As a Project

contributor...I want to be able to use kanban boards...So that my team can easily schedule and prioritize work in a visible way").

Kanban is actually an open source feature: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/boards

Hmm. Looking closer at the feature lists:

https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/

it looks like maybe *basic* board capabilities are in Core but more advanced stuff - "Multiple Group Issue Boards", "Single level Epics", "Deploy Boards", "Multi-level Epics" - are in Premium and Ultimate? I'm not an expert.
