I lean to having it hosted someplace not dependent on one person. Plus, I suspect it's more hassle than you think to run a project server, and it's better to work on the code :-) Generally, I think free software projects should be hosted on infrastructure provided by a charitable organization with the purpose of supporting free software. I also agree with your notion that it's good for the hosting platform to be Free Software. I would suggest savannah.nongnu.org (FSF) or gna.org (FSF europe). I am unclear on the reasonablness of hosting at gitlab.
