I've used this library in a moderately complicated project
(automatically bridging email list development to GitLab and vice versa)
and it's worked fine. As far as I can tell it covers the whole API.
Nothing has broken for me, documentation is reasonable, etc. The GitLab
API itself is much better than Pagure.

As far as I can tell GitLab actually versions its API and Pagure has
broken its API without a version bump repeatedly (e.g. some unpaginated
APIs suddenly became paginated).
