Gitlab is not willing to make a team around federation (codeberg.org)

The external developer who started the work and was highly praised by Gitlab offered to work for them if they made a team around federation --> nothing.

A group of French universities are now considering making a group in order to work on it themselves and contribute back to Gitlab.

Gitlab will most likely use it as a big selling point once all the work has been done by externals with little to no cost to Gitlab.

Right.. well clearly I have clicked all the links, and read all the things, and I still don't understand it. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

So assume in good faith, assume I have absolutely no idea what the problem even is due of my own stupidity. So ELI5 and give a synopsis of the problem.
