It's very surprising to me that CE wouldn't work for our purposes. Debian, GNOME, KDE, XFCE, and FreeDesktop have all switched to GitLab and are using CE. It's hard to believe that Gentoo's usage or requirements would be so different as to make GitLab a non-viable option. What features of EE do you think we need?
