Sounds interesting!

Every time Gitlab is mentioned, the brand of the company that
developed it and has been providing proprietary services is also
advertised. If you're not happy with that, you should move to use
a git forge developed by some open source community.

The way I see, the best would be if the CI integration could work
with more than one type of forge and being able to use any
free Git??b-CI runners that would be available for developers to
use, as this would allow testing more subsystems with CI, thus
increasing code quality.

Thanks,
Mauro
