Nothing that a bash script can't solve
Simple - using cron, setup a bash script to go through the repo and insert a top comment saying - 'This text inserted because GITLAB are a bunch of clowns 0001'
Set the script to increment 0001 accordingly, and delete the previously inserted lines - And There you go.
You get the best of both worlds - 1 - You save your project from deletion, and 2 - You make GITLAB the most active repository on the planet! And nobody has to pay for it - it's all free - all of the storage and bandwidth!
Go Open Source.
