Digging through the site I see you endorse the Contributor Covenant, a prime example of entry-ism written by serial harasser and radical feminist Coraline Ada Ehmke.
Unfortunately until this Code of Conduct is withdrawn and links with serial Harasser and political entriest Coraline Ada Ehmke are removed I can not endorse or contribute to GitLab.
I do hope GitLab removes the Contributor Covenant and replaces it with a more honest and inclusive statement.
I followed the link, and though I did see Caroline Ada trying to bully someone out of a community, I didn't see any evidence GitLab CEO supports the Contributor Covenant.
As you can see from the link the real intent of the creators of the Contributor Covenant and there 'inclusive' contract is really to attack, bully and exclude people who do not convert to there cult like sudo-religion.
Codes of conduct will not increase participation in your project they will reduce participation. No one wants to be part of a nanny state where political ideologues like Coraline Ada Ehmke poor over social media and attack you when they read things that disagree with there personal political and religious beliefs.
Project leaders and Platform providers can remove the door for entry-ism by simply removing third party codes of conduct. If you still feel the need to have some community guidance keep it simple to the point and honest.
So, I read the their code of conduct, and nothing struck me as wrong (well, aside from that link back to the Contributor Covenant homepage, which is wrong, breathlessly hyperbolic, and politically charged).
Then I had a couple of realizations:
1. A sign on all public trash cans and dumpsters saying "MOTHERS, DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR BABIES. YOU WILL BE PROSECUTED" would be correct, but it would be insulting because it implies the sign is necessary.
2. The existence of the code of conduct could be a dog-whistle. It could signal to the Caroline Adas of the world "We'll do whatever you want." Or even "Pease, please, please leave us alone. We'll do whatever you want". Both would be bad.
