Rest assured there were several hands on our side that went into the initial discussions from Debian Partners to DebConf Sponsors, to the DPL, and Press, all of us tasked with seeing things through that will benefit the project. We have many Partners[1] working with and helping to support Debian, this particular partnership starts with each of us promoting each others conferences, sponsorships, and then expanding the relationship forward into the future with the other items mentioned. The data sharing as I understand it is only toward a Case Study of how Debian uses GitLab, it would be with information that we provide to them on our use, selection, and goals. As more information about the Case Study becomes available we will be sure to share it with the community.
