I think it's fair to evaluate software that has the potential to improve
Emacs developers' experience.

IMHO Hydra (compared to GitLab) has a poor UI, is not very configurable
(especially on a per-developer level), and does not integrate deeply
with Git. It also has no support for code review or pull/merge requests.

I think notifications and webhooks are better in GitLab but that's
debatable.

The Nix build system is pretty arcane as well.

Finally, I don't think using GitLab precludes Hydra or any other CI
system.
