And the huge amount of work we put in to maintain gitlab is improving the base
package quality of Debian, especially nodejs. We have packaged many core build
tools like webpack, rollup, gulp, grunt etc which makes it easier to build many
JavaScript libraries from source (we had to reverse engineer the build process
before these were packaged, look at d3-format and jquery for example). rails is
another example which is useful beyond gitlab. Also all the new people who
joins gitlab team strengths the underlying ruby, js and golang teams.
I think I have to repeat these in regular intervals in -devel and probably a
better way is to add it to gitlab wiki page and share link.
