which is mentioned nowhere in the code, at least not in the comments I

My 2 cents: With that motivation, I'm against moving it to GitLab. You
wrote it's still work in progress and that you're not willing to adapt
the code for OLL or LilyPond proper. I don't see a reason to give this
a more official flavor by putting it into the organization.
