Gitlab bugs work without JS, you just can't really interact with them. Here is
an example from Riseup Gitlab that I found through Google which is indexing
the content.

https://0xacab.org/riseup/0xacab/issues/5

I do share the concern that anyone without JS can't comment or open a ticket
with Gitlab... We'll suffer through that for all possible solutions we want
:S...

I personally do enable JS on trac.tpo voluntarily so I'm "fine" with it but
that doesn't really matter for the rest reporting bugs :S... I recall also
someone reviewing some HS code and wasn't able to use Gitlab because
javascript and wasn't super pleased but understood the need for the review
tool. The review code tool, people will have to suffer through it (including
us) with javascript but I'm less easy with "reporting a bug requires JS" ...

This is maybe something we could start talking with Gitlab people on if they
could make it that someone can open and comment on a ticket without js to the
cost of losing some fancy functionnality such has "tagging with 4k emojis".
Although, I kind of have little hope there...

Cheers!
