I have some experience in this area. Nearly everything we consume on the
internet fits the threaded message queue model. Lars et al saw this fairly
early on. The key though is an API that admits a sequence-numbered stream per
group to track "new messages since last visited." A quick glance at
gitlab's API doesn't suggest it's on offer, and inferring such a record by
scanning html would be fragile and unwieldy.
There are also code-citation and push-button functionalities (merging PRs,
etc.) that are better served by point-and-click ui's.
