> - Open-source contributors are on GitHub. The majority is not going to create a GitLab account just to fix a bug or open an issue in my little library. If you want community, it's on GitHub.

This is a double-edged sword, because it means that your project will receive a lot of trivial issues/requests. I've seen more than one complaint that the having to handle the amount of requests in an open source project made it more than a daily job than a enjoyable activity

Ideally you want to make it easy for people that care to contribute, but not too easy in order to avoid "spam".
