+1 even though Hacktoberfest is sponsored by GitHub. So advertising GitLab
is... well... we can always say everybody benefits from OSS :)
I would rather go after pushing the GitHub stack. From what I see the
labels added to pull requests also work in this contest, so we are not
seriously restricted by the tracker. But even in this case we would have
https://github.com/KostyaSha/github-integration-plugin :D
Obviously, we can also advertise Digital Ocean since they sponsor the event
this year. The plugin definitely needs some help some love according to the
tracker/installation stats.
