Presumably the important distinction is that if you were just "doing development
somewhere else", the diff/patches would then be reviewed before being merged.

Here, they're going to be reviewed as they're being merged into the gitlab.com
repo, and the sync to the fedoraproject.org repo isn't going to be reviewed
because it's likely not going to be human-readable.
