That is indeed not an easy decision.  Both arguments make sense to me.

The important thing for *me* is being able to use a pull request based 
workflow, which either of the two would allow.  From my perspective, what 
speaks for GitHub is that I'm already there, and that I have no experience 
with GitLab (though I have been thinking of moving my private repositories to 
it from bitbucket, precisely because of the license argument).

I *could* imagine that the popularity argument for GitHub is less important 
for an overlay, since you have to be a Gentoo user for it to be of any 
interest in the first place.  I mean, these days I usually stumble upon 
overlays when searching for specific software, e.g., btrbk and tlp.

I'm not going to voice a preference myself, because I don't really have one, 
as I don't really know what sets GH/GL apart other than the software license.
