Yet one more MSE repository. But now you still need to manage
permissions one by one to the MSEdocumenting repository, exchanging
emails to get usernames, how they must register etc. So you didn't
reduce your effort at all, in fact you made it worse. It also delays
somebody from making a contribution - which as experience dictates, they
just move on to something else.

Oh please! MSEide+MSEgui's repository is minute compared to others like
LibreOffice, Git, Linux Kernel, Qt etc. I don't think you have to worry
about MSEide+MSEgui's repository size for decades to come.  It is not
like you are going to store the generated help output (HTML, IPF etc),
you are only storing the fpdoc XML files.

If repository size is such an issue, they can always clone the repo and
limit the history to x commits via the --depth parameter. For example:

   git clone --depth 10
https://gitlab.com/mseide-msegui/mseide-msegui.git msegui

Now after the clone, each branch will only contain 10 commits of
history. Size problem solved!
