What warrants such a hostile reply?? Would you please care to read and
understand the issue? There is no need to rewrite gitlab-runner, just to
avoid vendor binaries.
Upstream binaries are not DFSG compliant. Not only they use shitload of
vendored libraries but also bundle pre-built source-less Alpine-based helper
image fetched on build-time and incorporated into executable.

Instead of of telling me to go some place else consider that gitlab-runner
was rather difficult to introduce as an official package. Now when we have a
proper package for a while what excuse do you have to continue to use vendor
binaries that could not be accepted to Debian?
