Thanks Alexei. I found the issue on the wiki <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freedesktop/freedesktop/-/wikis/home#warning-restrictions-due-to-spam-warning>; apparently new accounts have forking disabled by default, and new users need to file user verification tickets to get verified before being able to fork. I did that, and now forking succeeds.
I filed a merge request here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/merge_requests/315. Is there a way I should add reviewers or open any needed discussion or anything else for the merge request?
