Would it be possible to have a more detailed review, like short
description of what is available for each of the requirements in the
GitLab issue?  That should give us a good idea of how close we are to
the goal.

I tried to find answers to those questions myself, but there doesn't
seem to be any detailed documentation that describes the setup and
usage from the routine user POV (or maybe I missed it?).  I did find a
heads-up that "from the beta onwards, unpaid accounts will be limited
to read-only access to their own projects", so I wonder what that
means for us.  It also says that "web-based workflow for submitting
and reviewing patches" is still under development.
