Thanks for the explanation, Richard.

Maintainers: can we run a Gitlab installation on FSF/GNU hardware? If
not, I'll bring an instance up in AWS. It should have a recent copy of
the Emacs Git repo, but doesn't need to be kept up to date, since we'll
just run it as a demo of the pull request workflow. It will be
temporary.

Thanks
