Right. We can't keep stacking random unmanaged bits for every project
into unconfined spaces, not least as it makes upgrades super painful.
What we want to do is use GitLab's CI mechanism to automatically run a
pipeline to generate the static pages, and likely serve them from
GitLab Pages. Having it all done in containers means that you can be
in complete control of the environment without having to block on
admins, and it's also easier for others to reproduce.

This should be actual gitlab.com for now. I don't have CI enabled on
gitlab.fd.o yet as it's surprisingly difficult to do without exposing
root to everyone. I'm aiming for the next couple of weeks to have this
done. I'll ping this thread when it is up.

Cheers,
Daniel
