If you add a dependency in GitLab (such as an operating system package) please consider updating the following and note the applicability of each in your merge request:
1. Note the addition in the release blog post (create one if it doesn't exist yet) https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/merge_requests/
1. Upgrade guide, for example https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/update/7.5-to-7.6.md
1. Interface text should be written subjectively instead of objectively. It should be the gitlab core team addressing a person. It should be written in present time and never use past tense (has been/was). For example instead of "prohibited this user from being saved due to the following errors:" the text should be "sorry, we could not create your account because:". Also these [excellent writing guidelines](https://github.com/NARKOZ/guides#writing).
This is also the style used by linting tools such as [RuboCop](https://github.com/bbatsov/rubocop), [PullReview](https://www.pullreview.com/) and [Hound CI](https://houndci.com).
