I wish people would actually use open protocols instead of private APIs, at least in cases where both seem to be available.
As far as I can see, the only feature this needs that only github provides is pull requests – omitting those would still leave you with a useful CMS, and the information could also be communicated in, for example, branch names. That way, you could conceivably use any client you want to work on the repo.
So instead of implementing Gitlab next, why not make it work with git?
This situation reminds me of email clients and libraries, many of whom now use private APIs of a bunch of providers instead of SMTL and IMAP.
