As Bill said, SFL is for LDAP users from Savoir-Faire Linux, Standard is 
for the others.

Yes, but I can't easily change that. It's not an option available by 
default. The only instance I know doing that thing uses a hack with some 
sed commands after each updates, and we don't want to do that. Should be 
reported to Gitlab devs.

I used this page for creating the OAuth API: 
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/oauth_provider.html

The gitlab instance is not using OpenID. With just the openid scope, you 
will see "The requested scope is invalid, unknown or malformed"

The gitlab instance is just a mirror of gerrit (the official 
repositories). Mirrors are good for a lot of things including:

1. History. If we delete the repo somewhere, it will be still available 
on github or gitlab

2. Visibility
