It would be too painful to move D to Gitlab or another medium?

I would not mind about a self-hosted gitlab instance. But what I 
think right now is that this would be costly because of the 
"runners"... you need servers to run them.

Gitlab.com (i.e not self-hosted) is not an option because the 
time allowed on the "shared" runners is very limited. For an 
organization like D-lang it would be consumed with 3 days I 
believe.

That would need confirmation but I think that all the CI used by 
d-lang RN are free.
