For those saying the GitLab for Open Source program will allow open source projects to have more than 5 members: I was involved in a project that was a part of that program. However, it requires yearly renewals and they somehow botched it at their end last time even though we signed all the documents. So bottom line is that we don't have it anymore.
Sorry to hear about this experience. I’d love to find out what happened and renew the license for your project. Feel free to email me jcoghlan at gitlab and I’ll be happy to help.
