It’s true.

For reference here are some of the tools that are available for GitLab.

## Julia TagBot for GitLab

Written in python and hosted on github 😂

## Registrator Web Interface / JuliaHub

I am not sure if JuliaHub uses the Registrator web interface with new CSS, or if it has its own system.  
But there is a web interface for Registrator that can be self-hosted and works with GitHub and GitLab.  
And JuliaHub supports both.

Off of github/gitlab I think you can use RegistryTools.jl to generate the changes to a registry for an arbitary repo so you can PR the registry directly (though you will need to ask for manual merge).  
I wouldn’t be suprised if @GunnarFarneback had some nicer front end

Probably [GitHub - triscale-innov/RegistryCLI.jl: Manage private Julia registries from the command-line](https://github.com/triscale-innov/RegistryCLI.jl) can do it if you point it at a clone of the General Registry (rather than a private one)
