GitLab project Severitylow builtIn

Description

Projects should have a non-empty Description so that compliance reviewers, onboarding developers, and downstream consumers can understand the project's purpose. An empty description is a sign of an unmanaged project that may also lack a CODEOWNERS file, README, and CI/CD.

Recommendation

1. Go to project Settings > General. 
2. Fill in the Project description field with at least one sentence describing the project's purpose, owner team, and tech stack. 
3. Save changes.
