IMO that's something for the gnu-prod-discuss mailing list.
We shouldn't blindly use CI/CD platforms which are potentially problematic
or even contradicting or violating the GNU freedoms, just merely because
many people use it.
(I'm no lawyer, so I can't 100% tell for Gitlab, though.)

Isn't there already GNU way for CI/CD?
I know there is hydra.nixos.org, but that looks a bit fallen asleep.
Anything else?

Have a nice day,
