I honestly don't understand what the fuss is all about. This "difference" already exists. Either you have a Git account on git.gnome.org, in which case: congrats, you can already push to a branch on GitLab without requiring a forked repo; or you don't have it, in which case, *right now* you need to create a separate public repo on some other hosting, or you need to create a patch from a local clone and attach it somewhere. With GitLab, on the other hand, in either cases you'll have a forked repo on the *same* infrastructure.
