What really worries to me is that:
* using GitLab as SaaS is being considered, and
* for self-hosting, using the proprietary "enterprise" editions is not
  excluded.

I think that using anything other than Free Software as the hosting platform
for Fedora should be an absolute no go. In other words, self-hosted GitLab
CE or Pagure, no other options.

No option is off the table right now as we haven't sat down with Gitlab to evaluate options yet, that is scheduled for this week. SaaS and all variants of licensing are an option right now until we evaluate the tooling needs and process the valuable feedback in this thread (and others) will be brought to Gitlab and in our public facing ticket we would most welcome engagement to have your voice and say heard by the Gitlab folks directly.
