One positive of migrating to gitlab if its done right ie containerized is the fact that it should be simple to move, so if someone can provide a machine and hosting somewhere it can sit there until the point until it no longer works for whatever reason or someone comes along with a better solution, at which point recreating the infra then migrating the data to a new server is a simple process. If it reaches a point where no one is willing to provide infra we can equally move onto a public cloud for as long as necessary.
As long as the gitlab instance is created right this is probably a major reason I think its worth migrating. I also don't have the time to do it so if it doesn't happen I wont complain but I think that if we do something it should be done properly otherwise we may as well stay with what we have.
