Yes, sorry for being a bit slow this year in renewing. I started
receiving emails two months ago, but as you noticed the automatic
renewal didn't work and I had trouble finding time to look further into
the topic...

FWIW I think the one paid feature we use are scoped labels:
https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/labels/#scoped-labels We could
probably live without it for the merge requests (Patch::review,
Patch::push etc.) and have the bot take care of mutual exclusive
labels, but somebody (tm) would need to code that.

Note that the first three projects are archived. The first two are
open-source, they would just be missing the LICENSE file. The last two
have some PDF files that I don't think we can license under an OSI
approved text - to be checked for next year because ...

option 3: ask the GitLab for Open Source Program Team and have them
send over a coupon code - thank you! I received the email earlier this
evening, just as I was about to leave. I entered it now, we should be
all set until July next year.
