RFC: CONTRIBUTING: Embrace gitlab

Simona Vetter requested to merge sima/maintainer-tools:master into master

So Rodrigo just broke the gitlab ci on libdrm, I figured perfect time to start this discussion.

There's imo 2 reasons to do this:

  • No more "oops, I broke make check". If we use gitlab merge requests gitlab CI will test everything, and we can set 2 checkboxes that disallow direct pushes (i.e. require merge requests), and that all merge requests must pass CI first.

  • maintainer-tools is a small project with a small team and little activity. Much easier to figure out the details here than in one of our big projects. And there's lots to figure out, which we need to be able to explain (and have documented) for our 50+ team, if we ever want to use gitlab: commandline tools, emacs modes, best practices for setup, ...
