Certainly!  Was anyone working on setting up CI/CD for gnulib on GitLab?
I recall there was a private project for it, but I don't have access.
Any reason for this?  I have become rather aquinted with GitLab CI/CD
lately so it would be easy for me to setup something from scratch.  Of
course, given all the freedom concerns people may have with using a SaaS
like GitLab, I think it is important that we don't let what features
exists there influence any decisions made in gnulib.  Let's use it as a
way to improve our software, to promote more users of GNU software, just
the way we used proprietary platforms like Solaris or IRIX in the old
days.
