it's a long an sad story. Many people have asked. Every time I asked the
answer was something like "it's on our road map but can't tell you a
date'. At the last RIPE meeting in Amsterdam I was told that they are
done and just needed to add AAAA record to DNS. That was in October in
2018. Looking at it today: It might have been to ger rid of me and to
stop asking.

I think they will only notice when enough *large* projects moved from
github to gitlab.
