I haven't looked the code. But one thing might help is to follow salsa-ci practice,
which is to use the "include" feature in gitlab-ci.yml. So you don't need to bulk
update all repositories if you want to update the ci template.

salsa-ci example:

  ---
  include:
    - https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/raw/master/recipes/debian.yml

And another thing might help is to:

1. register the runner at group level, and add a tag on it.
2. use the tag one the job template.

Thus we don't need to enable runner on every project like the previous.

Thanks for working on this!
