Ask HN: What is an issue/merge bot good for on gitlab?

I'm tracking patches for external git projects I'm using with such a local merge/rebase bot. you need to enable the rr-cache then. manual intervention only needed once a year. tracking submodules alone doesn't keep your patches.

you wrote the bot or is there a service I don't know about?

I wrote it. just a few bash lines for each project I'm tracking. some are even CVS, svn or hg, using the relevant git importers.
