As other point out, you should be able to use GitLab CI instead of Travis, they configure very similarly. That said, I'd welcome them integrating fully with us as well.
As for other projects - the most important one for me was clubhouse.io (Gitlab Issues is great but just not as good as clubhouse.io)
Ah interesting! You can't do this now with GitLab, but we're working on supporting merge requests as special cases [0].

Clubhouse sure looks nice! GitLab Issues is getting better every release and in 9.0 (March 22nd), we have some big changes for Issue Boards.
I've asked our PM on Issues (Victor) to check out Clubhouse and hopefully we can convince them to integrate with us in some way.
