But in a moment of legal discovery, it was found that "GitLab Support Bot" always owns the repository since it creates the merge commit after CI runs.

  1. The bot is not a person and this cannot have the rights
  2. Just don't use something as fancy as that. CI for a HLP project? Wth are you doing, there aren't even tests

You don't have to be a person to have the rights of a person. That's what a corporation is.

Corporations provide services, and service guarantees citizenship.
