GitLab has carried the vote by a large majority (8 votes). I got about
half of those in private e-mail. The great majority of Emacs developers
haven't had a strong opinion in emacs-devel or elsewhere.

Meanwhile, gitlab.com has issues mirroring the Emacs repository, but
they said that's a system-wide issue, and they host many thousands of
repositories. So I don't think that will be an issue with a dedicated
private installation, but I'm bringing it up in the interest of full
disclosure: https://gitlab.com/emacs-ci/emacs/issues/3

Unless there are objections, I ask (again) for a machine to host a
GitLab installation. I can help set it up, but it has to be allocated
like the GNU ELPA server, internally. Once it's up and running, we can
set it up and start doing CI against all emacs.git commits.
