Hi Pierre, thanks for your feedback!
First of all our source code is publicly available: http://git.superglue.it/public
The current version of GitLab does not permit to make public repos more visible then a tiny link at the login screen, although they are public. OpenWRT images are available here: http://dev.superglue.it
As regards HTTPS - at first this was our intentional move to use as little centralized, hierarchic subsystems as possible (SSL included). However, as the time went by, I came to agree to use HTTPS for Git and Discourse sites - it will soon be implemented.
