Ultimately I think the only way you can move the needle on this is by 

1. talking about it like you did

2. making it happen - e.g. you could just start with your own project, agree in 
your PM group to mirror to gitlab and then adapt your processes

In the end .. imho it doesnt matter where you mirror to ... the bigger question 
is what you do with your workflow in terms
of accepting pull requests and such. And there is definitely a danger of 
becoming dependent on a commercial entity (MS/Github) .. but then you already 
e,g. use JIRA for your issue tracking now..
