Proposal for GitLab to support ActivityPub (docs.gitlab.com)

The end goal of this proposal is to build interoperability features into GitLab so that it’s possible on one instance of GitLab to open a merge request to a project hosted on an other instance, merging all willing instances in a global network.

To achieve that, we propose to use ActivityPub, the w3c standard used by the Fediverse. This will allow us to build upon a robust and battle-tested protocol, and it will open GitLab to a wider community.

I don't think of GitLab as super centralized (compared to GitHub) because you can run your own instance. Communication between GitLab instances would be huge
