Since gitlab.com isn't free (as in beer) somebody would need to officially apply on behalf of Gentoo to get an instance hosted by them. So, that means that there is no unofficial free cloud hosting, and it will only exist if somebody goes to the considerable trouble to have it set up on infra (or they host it themselves, which seems likely to have adoption challenges), or get everbody to agree to request having it set up with the semi-free (as in freedom) cloud option. The reason everybody is using Github is because it provides functionality not available on Gentoo infra, and it is very easy to use as an alternative. -- Rich
