## Description

The GitLab and GitHub integrations offer very similar features, but are right now completely separate plugins. This means improvements to one of them don't benefit the other.

If we wanted to integrate another source code management tool today, we'd need to start from scratch again.

They should use a common basis instead and reuse shared components (e.g. UI). Since all of them can be self-hosted, they should also allow to be connected to multiple instances (e.g. two different GitLab installations).
