Hi Jeremy,

I did read about at least some intention to add Zull support for Gitlab
from a few month ago, but also didn't see anything coming. It'd be
awesome if it one day materializes.

What drives me here is adding more freeness in our Gitlab CI stuff,
which is using the non-free GCE. The only solution that I know of that
would be completely free would be Zuul and the way the OpenStack CI runs.

I very much love social aspect were the OpenStack CI runs on donated
compute power. I'd love to see the same model in Debian.

I also completely hate the fact Salsa is becoming more and more coupled
with Google. First with built artifact storage, and now with the CI.

Cheers,
