Your concerns have merit, especially if there were tracking elements or
the exposure of any Personal Identifiable Information (PII) made
available. However, the inquires for the Case Study will likely be to
see how Debian uses GitLab and perhaps questions as to why we chose them
and so on, any information shared would come from our own DDs and teams
that work on or with GitLab. I don't think any information we provide
them will drill down to specific individuals, this seems more like
metrics and analytics with a personal touch on the end.
I would imagine the completed Case Study is mutually beneficial for each
of our organizations in light of documenting how an organization of our
size uses GitLab and for them showcasing how they are able to provide
services.
Be well,
