RfC: grant gitlab "guest" just for the asking

[John D. Bell]

Mark,


     On that page you cited, it says " On public and internal projects 
the Guest role is not enforced. All users will be able to create issues, 
leave comments, and pull or download the project code."  Since NTPsec is 
a public project, *can* one explicitly grant 'Guest' access?  Or is that 
a NO-OP?
