Hi,

In fact, this is deliberately, mainly because I'm not used to
work with Gitlab and I first need to learn how to handle MRs on
the command line, or better from within Emacs.

In the past, people made MRs and I did not notice them. Which
lead to frustration by the MRs authors, because I did not react.
So I switched off MRs, until I'm able to handle them properly.

This will help using serverless XMPP in a local network, I
assume? Great! Will apply today or tomorrow!

We really need more active people in the team. E.g. I would love
to see regular experimental packages of some clients git
masters. That would give the software more testing, and some
people just love to play with the latest stuff. But that needs
more hands.

Cheers
