According to this site:

"As a cost-saving measure, git traffic like git clone 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/<repo> is now redirected to our 
mirror under https://github.com/GNOME/<repo>."


What's interesting that before internet, people used to complain 
about cable companies being gatekeepers, high prices and so on. 
Then came the internet to free from all that but  then people 
start trapping themselves through new gatekeepers (gh, fb, 
google, netflix) all over again. People even sell their privacy 
for free cookies.

Like the last discord latest ID polemic... users say they will 
leave but they don't know where to. They are so dependent of that 
service, which the company can do whatever they want now.

Well another example of: "If something is free, you are the 
product...".

Finally the official gnome still gitlab, their just moving (for 
now) the clone traffic to the gh because it's free.
