I'm sure most of you are already aware of this, but I haven't been able to keep up with the packaging of Gitlab. Mostly because I haven't had as much time as I anticipated, but also because I'm not liking Ruby much. I hope I won't (nor didn't) cause you any trouble if I step down from the team.

We spoke to upstream about these and tried to help them get rid of said deps. If I recall correctly, their answer was that they just made minor fixes to the code but that these fixes couldn't be merged back to their upstreams for various reasons. Like you say, it's worth getting in touch with upstream again to see how the situation has evolved over the past year.
