You mean .gitlab-ci.yml files ? Just scrub those from the tarball if those are causing you problems since those are in no way needed for the build. If scrubing them from the released tarballs is a problem for some reason you could even try to propose changes to our packaging scripts that remove those from the release tarballs, if they are not super intrusive i guess that they could be accepted by the release folk. Honestly, this seems more a Fedora problem than a KDE problem.
