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 ("LDAP") to your Phabricator account. If none of these apply, file an unlock request to expedite access. Only if you are WMF staff: Create your GitLab account, have "Wmf" group membership in IDM, link your Developer account ("LDAP") to your Phabricator account, and get automatically approved.

When pushing the branch deletions, git relays the status line emitted by Gerrit showing the progress:
remote: remote: Processing changes: refs: 1 remote: Processing changes: refs: 1, done
cgit prints them to stderr and they end up captured in the weekly email we receive (T303828#10457972).
Capture stderr and only print it when a push fails.
