Sorry for taking so long to respond, the past weeks have been quite busy.

Do we know if such a proxy would even be theoretically possible for GitLab?
IIRC, some doubts were raised during the AMA that getting a
chronologically consistent stream of events out of GitLab would be ∈
[hard, impossible[.
What would that mean for fedora? Do services relying on
fedora-messaging events related to dist-git need them to be consistent
/ chronological?
What would be the effect of those services not having a reliable
stream of events from dist-git?
