Note that since they also offer a hosted solution we should use that to
play with instead of trying to install it at this point.

Integrating the issue tracker looks like it's just a call to this API:
http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/api/issues.html#new-issue. I don't normally do
web development myself so I'd rather not figuring out how to setup a
copy of the website to hack on, but if no one else wants to try it I can
take a stab at it.

Presumably mirroring our git repository would work the same as it does
for mirroring to GitHub. My guess is that would be enough to get the
basic git/issue tracker integration working.

Commitfest could be tied in as well. Presumably each commitfest would be
a milestone (http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/api/milestones.html) and each
submission an issue.
