Hi Benjamin Thank you to mention this issue here, actually yesterday GitHub suspended my account because I live in Iran. There are a long list of platforms and even free software websites that are forbidden for countries you have mentioned and I think this is completely against freedom. Gitlab does not ban users from these countries yet, also GItlab is GPL licensed and we can host it ourself in a subdomain, for example, gitlab.zeromq.org but this approach requires extra maintenance and a server to run Gitlab. https://savannah.nongnu.org/ is another option hosted by FSF foundation.
