It would be polite not to assume that lack of SysV scripts is deliberate.
There are not enough people involved into maintenance of such a complex 
package as GitLab and writing init scripts from scratch and maintaining them 
is not an easy task.
Yes, your help would be appreciated if you care enough for init scripts to 
contribute them or to fund/sponsor someone who could write them.

Until then systemd remains a viable option for those who have no systemd-
fobia and wishes to run GitLab...
