Good, agree with Gitlab CI as a starter (since glibc systems are the
most important platforms to test).

I think it would be better to register https://gitlab.com/gnulib as a new
project. (In the long run, the intersection between wget maintainers and
gnulib maintainers may be empty.) Would you be willing to do that, please?

"syncs+tests gnulib once a day" sounds good.
