Limit users on the sum of Disk Space Used

This used to be an EE issue, but it became a valuable conversation about what to do with users on GitLab.com so I moved the issue to gitlab-com/infrastructure#841.

This is now the feature proposal for implementing it.

/cc @stanhu @DouweM @pcarranza

added user management label

added ~1035183 label

/cc @dblessing

This is related to gitlab-org/gitlab-ee#1270 and we should probably think through the UX of both features before starting on either.

@dewetblomerus Do you have more information about it being an old feature? I don't recall it.

added feature proposal label

@dblessing it was not an old feature.

It was an old issue, that used to be a feature proposal on EE.

But that issue turned into a discussion about what limits we will enforce on GitLab.com, so I moved it to infrastructure and then it was no longer an EE feature proposal.

Sorry, I know that is confusing, does it make sense?

@dewetblomerus Is your proposal for this to be an evolution of https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/559, adding a "Total project size limit" to users that is enforced on top of the per-project ones? Would that only apply to their personal projects, or also projects in groups they own?

added ~481018 Stretch labels

changed milestone to %8.16

@DouweM it is correct that it is an evolution of #559 (closed)

We have had a user create a group on GitLab.com and then use scripts to create over 600GB of projects in that group. So we do need this to also count the projects in groups that a user owns.

I can see how this might be bad for large organizations wanting to use GitLab.com, but I think the best way to cater for that is to one day add paid extra storage as an add-on.
