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.

This change replaces generic CI images with wmf-debci images. The
image contains build-essential and devscripts so this doesn't need
to be installed in every CI run.
GitLab CI variables WMF_DEBCI_IMAGE and WMF_DEBCI_VERSION were
introduced to change the image and/or version tag in a single place.
