Improving Open Development for Everyone

GitLab has made changes to facilitate easier contributions from its community by handling feature proposals directly within GitLab projects on GitLab.com and introducing a system for assigning weights to issues labeled as "Accepting merge requests." This shift from using Uservoice to GitLab.com for feature proposals enables more direct engagement and discussion among users, who can now easily propose features by creating issues in the GitLab CE or EE projects. The new weighting system helps contributors identify simpler issues to tackle, with weights under five indicating tasks suitable for those new to GitLab or looking to improve their skills without committing to extensive bug fixes or features. This approach aims to encourage participation by making it easier for both new and experienced contributors to engage with and improve GitLab, while also inviting feedback to further streamline the contribution process.
