Just wanted to say I love this and I'm sure it will improve visibility of
the KiCad project and lower the barrier of entry for new developers.

Some questions:

   - Are there any plans to use the Gitlab CI system in the future?
   - Will the KiCad libraries also be migrated or is the plan to keep them
   on Github?

Just be sure to make some backups once in a while, Gitlab.com has some
history with Database issues.
