This comparison is quite dated (for instance, GitHub definitely has CI/CD
integrated nowadays, and GitLab is by no means buggy and slow), but I also
would support GitLab over GitHub as our definitive location simply on the
principle of it being FOSS instead of closed source hosting.

It does have an identical Code owners feature to GitHub with the same
syntax and location. I'm not sure if it's available in the self hosted/free
versions or if it is one of their premium features. I'm getting conflicting
information on that.

It does support automatic mirroring, so it would be easy for us to self
host the official repository but still allow automated mirrors on GitHub
and the public GitLab for ease of contribution by others.
