EU GDPR compatibility would be a cool thing - I am sure that people have been asking for that "long time enough" ago.

Also now that this software has left prototype status for long enough time - why are you still using ruby?

Ruby is much too slow and bloated for production - there are only a few companies out there that missed the right time to jump from the ruby-prototype-bloat and have enough money to burn to just stick with it, but for a project like gitlab this is a huge problem. Judging from the roadmap there seem to be many bored developers with no good ideas about what to do next, so maybe unbloating could be a good direction?

There must be at least one person in that team with a feeling for architectural brilliance?
