GSoC idea to setup Gitlab for Fedora Hosted, looking for mentors

[Michael Stahnke]

Just as a side-note, Puppet Labs for GSOC has a project for a puppet
module for complete deployment (all services) for Gitlab as well.

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/GSOC12

Any progress on packaging and deployment would be a neat thing to share.
