[petsc-dev] Gitlab Requirements

[Jed Brown]

I'm not following.  It seems this feature is developer-facing, not user-facing.

GitLab isn't using this on their main products so I'd just ignore it.

It’s currently very rudimentary, from the video and docs it seems like its a title only, but if this is fleshed out it could be pretty useful for at-a-glance summaries of necessary items for running petsc in certain configurations.

This section doesn’t and shouldn’t replace the very helpful error messages already in configure but can serve as rough guidelines apriori to building petsc. Some food for thought.
