The actual gitlab clauses include:

> (For GitLab Contributors Only) ... I [...] agree that my name and email address
> will become embedded and part of the code, which may be publicly available.
> I understand the removal of this information would be impermissibly destructive [..]
> I hereby waive any right to request any erasure, removal, or rectification of this information under
>  any applicable privacy or other law [..].

Could those clauses suffice?
