Looks like gitlab now requires account verification for new accounts in addition to email. Either phone number or credit card.
This applies both to accounts created with a working email or by logging in using your github account. You can’t even verify your email until you go through step 1.
I don’t know when this started, but at least for the last month or two judging from these posts in the forums.

Fun fact: I don’t even want to host on gitlab, I just wanted to report bugs in some projects. So I’m locked out.

For anyone unfamiliar and wanting more background, and an explanation of why you may see Jewish people add ((( ))) around their own names on social media,

Yeah, I am familiar with it, but I am really confused about who he thinks is supposed to be Jewish in this scenario.
