There are some high-profile FOSS projects using GitLab, but they're not as visible as they would be on GitHub because they host their own instances:

- https://gitlab.gnome.org/

- https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/

- https://salsa.debian.org/ (AFAIK this is an ongoing migration)

Others are considering a migration:

- KDE: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/24900

- GNU Emacs: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/28152

Maybe someday we'll have federation to work around this: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/30672 :-)

We have over 700 users on https://lab.civicrm.org (a FOSS CRM for non-profits). While bits of the project still rely on Jenkins and Github, having most of our community on Gitlab really changes the dynamics of the project.

At first people were worried about losing contributors because "everyone is on Github", but increasingly it's the other way around. We have a lot of accidental techies who start issue tracking, testing patches, etc, and so it's nice to have a clear project structure.

And Drupal just finished switching over (self hosted).

Awesome, as a long-time Debian user myself that makes me very happy :)

I notice that the Qt project has a GitLab instance:

https://git.qt.io/public

But everything seems to be done on their Gerrit for now.
