"We'll judge this on its merits" If that's the case then perhaps you'll read the links and respond to the arguments advanced by people in this thread pointing to: the lack of evidence of spamming by GG or its advocacy anywhere in this project, the lack of evidence of harassment by GG or its advocacy anywhere in the project, the real threat of doxxing as justification for measures to maintain anonymity.
"not on the marketing potential." You're explicitly asking for the opinions of GitLab users. Ergo the opinions of (at least some of) your customers are important to you. I'm pointing out that it would be possible for you to include the opinions of potential future customers in this calculus too. It's of course up to you which groups of people you want to serve. Your failure to address fuzzytoad's concerns is alarming. To me it demonstrates that you/your service should be considered susceptible to strong-arming by parties wanting to suppress unpopular speech. I'll be warning others against using your service while this seems to be the case.
