This is not getting included into the kernel itself, the contributed code is,
of course, open-source. And yes it would execute just fine on the fully
open-source community-edition GitLab. I don't think "no regressions rule"
should apply here. This is for developers only, and is a template for making
your own pipeline mostly, with pieces which can be reused.
