Happy to announce #gitlab 16.11.6 via https://fasttrack.debian.net

We started out with an aim to package gitlab as a native package in #debian. We managed to get a single version in debian stable, but could not keep it updated since upstream provides security updates only for 3 months and Debian stable releases needs to be supported for around 2 years.

Since the nodejs dependencies grew exponentially, we had to move gitlab to contrib section from main.
