[Pkg-javascript-devel] gitlab, yarn, node modules and stalled ftp NEW

[Pirate Praveen]

Hi,

I was hoping to be able to package all node dependencies of gitlab in main, though the sheer number of them made ftp masters to ignore them. I understand that kind of numbers are quite intimidating to deal with, so I have already moved gitlab to contrib and install these node modules directly from npm registry. 

But even that cannot move to buster because npm is not yet in buster, which is also stuck in NEW. So I'm thinking of adding yarn also to contrib, bundling all dependencies. If the node modules in NEW starts moving, hopefully when next batch of ftp assistants are on boarded, we can get it to main.

This will also help me in backporting gitlab 10 to stretch as backporting security fixes to 8.13 is pretty challenging.
