While I indeed worked for GitLab until 2021, Inko's development began before I joined GitLab, and GitLab wasn't involved in it at all.

Inko was hosted on GitLab for a while (using their FOSS sponsorship plan), but I moved it back to GitHub as to make contributing easier and to increase visibility. As much as I prefer GitLab, the sad reality is that by hosting a project there you'll make it a lot harder for people to report bugs, submit patches, or even just find out about your project in the first place. I could go on for a long time how GitLab really wasted its chances with taking over GitHub, but that's for another time :)
