Gitlab has 1600+ node dependencies when I counted last time (may have even grown bigger by now). So currently it is just a yarn install in contrib section for most dependencies. With security updates coming every month packaging node dependencies is happening very very slow. So if you see my name anywhere in any node package, just go ahead and do the right thing, as noted by Nilesh (just coordinate well in case of breaking changes). I'm not particularly attached to any team maintained packages, I'm only happy if others update packages where I'm an uploader.
