Description
Many software projects are hosted here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/explore/projects/
We must add a heuristic that will be similar to GitHub API one.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by finding the existing GitHub API heuristic used by suggesting_repos and read how it discovers projects. Compare that flow with the GitLab REST API at gitlab.freedesktop.org/explore/projects/. Done means the tool applies a comparable heuristic and can suggest repositories hosted there.
