GitLab releases

[xaocon]

I was wanting to add the glab client but it's hosted on gitlab.com and I see there isn't a release lib for it. I see in #4 that it was a consideration at some point but it was closed. Are you interested in this at all? I got started on adding it but ran into a bug with @root/request so before I go too much farther I wanted to make sure that you'd even be up for accepting it.

If you are up for adding GitLab, how do you feel about just using fetch instead of request? In case it matters, the issue with request is that it doesn't append or merge prior info on redirect so relative redirects cause Error: unknown protocol: 'null'.

I'm in a good place for the next 2-3 weeks to focus on Webi, and I'm very open both:

• add GitLab support
• use native fetch

@root/request was a holdover between the time that request became so bloated and dependency-laden that it became a supply-chain vulnerability, and fetch still didn't have full browser+node support.

Do you have time to work on this in the next 2-3 weeks?
