How to register an account on GitLab. Due to spam, new accounts are locked until approved by an admin or the approver bot. Your GitLab account gets automatically approved within one hour if you are a member of Trusted Contributors in Gerrit, or a member of the Trusted-Contributors group in Phabricator and linked your Developer account to your Phabricator account.

Didn't realize that gitlab doesn't ensure tests pass against the merged repository prior to merging a patch, meaning that the merge of the recent change to add flake8 F4 errors resulted in a main branch that doesn't pass CI.
Correct the errors so main branch is passing CI.
