https://gitlab.com/spice works too.

So, I put this on hold for some time but it would be great to discuss
this once more.

Last week I started to play with continuous integration in gitlab [0]
which can be very useful to track if given commit is breaking
builds, tests, etc. We also plan to setup a copr [1] repo to provide
fedora builds to latest upstream. Pavel has worked in a script [2] that
does that (if commit passes in previous stages like building, tests).

[2] https://gitlab.com/xerus/ci/tree/master

Does anyone disagree with moving to gitlab and making freedesktop a
mirror?

Cheers,
