users cannot fork or create new repositories since the switch to GitLab ultimate

Context

I had recently got an access to Tor GitLab and want to join Arti project as contributor.

However, I cannot set up the project itself.

Problem

I followed CONTRIBUTING.md and it says to fork Arti project somehow:

When I tried to do this via GitLab UI I got an error: "Limit reached You've reached your limit of 5 projects created. Contact your GitLab administrator.". But I definitely have 0 projects here.

The source issue I'd assed in Arti project is here

The problem might be repeated to the way I got an account: I just asked to create an account only with email and without tickets created for me

background

@anarcat: it seems like this might be a limitation of GitLab ultimate, we're looking into it.
