The quota includes not just the git repo, but also other services that gitlab offers. In particular the container and package registries are easy to setup in a way that accumulates a lot of data (e.g. by building and tagging a docker image in every commit and not cleaning up old images). In most cases this will be a misconfiguration and all the quota enforcement is doing is to force people to configure their projects a bit more considerate.

As far as I know, the quota itself isn't new, it just wasn't enforced in the past.

Right now, the second example is an actual example of this === I know that having to go through multiple troubleshooting steps and not having any of them work can be a real pain, especially when you have more important things to be doing.” Lastly, let them know that you have been looking into the issue and that you think it should be resolved: “That being said, I think we might have gotten to the bottom of this." ===

Right, IIUC, the stated goal is to reach some standardization (https://www.w3.org/WoT/) for IoT communication. Which, in my opinion would be great for users if it panned out.

But I'm not hopeful that this will gain the required industry traction

How is Mozilla gathering personal data from people using WebThings? When I tried WebThings Gateway a few months back, it did not seem to collect/send personal data off site. It allows you to create a public endpoint as a subdomain of mozilla-iot.org for easy off site access (https://github.com/mozilla-iot/wiki/wiki/Gateway-Remote-Acce...) which would allow some tracking I assume, but in general I have noticed no hidden data collection as your comment implies.
