That's not the point. No matter how trustworthy Gitlab seems, The GNOME Project is still more trustworthy.

You'll get no argument on that from me. The way he phrased it though made it sound like this has happened in the past, and I was curious.

I would be shocked if there were not DMCA take-downs that left some people feeling raw - honestly how can you avoid that - but this sort of thing does not attract much notice these days.

Hate to bring up gamergate, but a project related to the movement was completely taken offline by a rogue github employee.

There are a number of sources, all of them biased, so I'd prefer not to link any.
