That what I see that looks like it would be useful to the public at large:
Share a project with other groups
Manage large binaries with git annex
Rebase merge requests before merge
Git hooks (commit message must mention an issue, no tag deletion, etc.)
Lock project membership to the members of a group
Branded login page
An admin can email all users of a project, a group or the entire server
Omnibus package supports log forwarding
Project importing from GitHub Enterprise to GitLab
Reference JIRA issues with GitLab commits, merge requests and issues
Close JIRA issues with GitLab commits
Display merge request status for builds on Jenkins CI
Omnibus package supports configuring an external MySQL database
Just as I feared, gitlab is turning into crippleware.
