Instructions for getting GitLab access can be found on the [sign-in][sign-in]
page.

GitLab access is primarily useful if you'd like to open issues, engage in
discussions on issues or merge requests, or submit your own merge requests.

Note that if the sign-up process is too much trouble and you'd just
like to report an issue, feel free to report it in the Matrix room at
[#grapevine:computer.surgery][room]; someone with GitLab access can open an
issue on your behalf.
