I would agree with you if it were a big change - however, the proposal has a very low impact, if not none at all, on existing stuff. In contrast to what you seem to believe (accuse people of…), this proposal is about helping Debian as a whole, not forcing a certain package into the distribution. gitlab only serves as an example of why it is useful. The Debian infrastructure already supports everything that is needed to implement this, and starting with parallel infrastructure would probably mean that it will fail because this requires a single person spending time and money to maintain the infrastructure (which is otherwise already there), and to make it really work, this is a low (think of buildds, etc.). In any case, I do not see why you would fight the fact that someone makes a detailed proposal. A proposal can be accepted or denied, of course, but your tone implies you think noone should have made the proposal i nthe first place. Please don't fight people wanting to help based on your opinion about a prior case around gitlab. -nik
