As pointed out in #5729, we should be using the "source" of the metadata for deciding how to sanitize, not the "place where Dependabot is hosted".

This hack was annoying the folks who use GitLab to the point that they monkey-patched this code to also run the sanitizer on GitLab, and then contributed that back in #3437.

If it's true on GitLab, it's even more true on other platforms as well for the reasons explained in #3437 (comment).

So remove this guard altogether.

Kind of wonder why we put up the guard in the first place?

Looks like it was added in #2539, specifically in 8fb45b2 where we switched out using source.provider for just source. 🤷🏾

Seems fine to remove the guard and just sanitize regardless, though.
