Exactly. The case can be made it would be more open than GitHub, since
folks should be able to log in with any of the identity providers
GitLab supports: http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/integration/omniauth.html

One of the relevant benefits of migrating to a full repository
management server (whether that's GitHub or GitLab)  is that we'll be
able to get away from the current manual approach to managing SSH keys
in favour of people uploading their own keys after authenticating with
the main web interface.

Cheers,
Nick.
