My 2 cents on this brainstorming, if that could help:<br>
Is there any estimation on how well the VTK and ITK communities overlap? I mean, as a mostly ITK user, I came naturally to VTK for all the visualization and 3D modelling tasks given the similarities between both libraries, so even if I can mostly contribute to ITK, there is still chances that I could help on VTK. It may be a biais since I'm working on 3D volumes and not 2D images that can be easily displayed elsewhere, but as far as I'm concerned, I would favor a united framework for ITK, VTK, 3D Slicer, etc. So if the communities are more or less the same people, I would advocate for GitLab (plus, that's open sourced). Since you could authentify people from GitHub credentials, that don't seems a big side-lining.<br>
<br>
However, if there is a clear distinction between communities, I think that going for GitHub is the best choice to get access to more people, that are used to GitHub facilities. That would increase chances of involving people into the project.<br>
(Note that I'm not well aware of the implications of using a close-source forge.)<br>

Creating a GitLab account is a fast and easy one-time task, the browser can then remember your password, etc. Everyone is used to having a zillion accounts for all the zillion services we all use.<br>
<br>
Yes, this is true.<br>
<br>
We already have OAuth sign-in for Gerrit that uses GitHub credentials.<br>
But, the benefits come more from a familiarity with the user interface<br>
and deeper integrations like notifications, user and issue references,<br>
etc.<br>
