If you create an account on phabricator (https://reviews.freebsd.org)
you can submit the work in progress of the GitLab port via arcanist,
from command line.

The general idea is, when you have an svn/git portstree, you can use
the workflow as described in https://wiki.freebsd.org/CodeReview

Basically, all you have to do is:
1. create an account on reviews.freebsd.org
2. install arcanist -- pkg install php5-arcanist
2a. configure arcanist
3. create a revision.

arc diff --create www/gitlab

now, your $EDITOR opens, and lets you set things:

* set the Revision title to something like:
www/gitlab: Web GUI for managing git repositories

* in the Summary, it's a good idea to yank/paste the revision title,
and then follow that with the entire pkg-descr.

Of course, add yourself as "Submitted by:<tab>Torsten Zühlsdorff"

* in test plan, copypaste the output of `portlint -AC` as well as a
run of poudriere testport [...] -o devel/gitlab.

* as reviewers, #ruby is a good idea (the pound is for teams), and I
think swills, mmoll, sunpoet and I will have opinions on that port
already formed.

Ship it :-)



> - excessive tests ;)

The good thing about the whole exercise with arcanist and uploading it
to phabricator is, obtaining the source code becomes a simple

arc patch D<1234>.

> - make an official installation guide

We'll help you with that if you can put it on a Wiki somewhere (heh,
do you have a public GitLab install?)

All the best,
- -Johannes
