GitLab, unlike Github, offers a self-hosted plan. In theory, youtube-dl could self-host, as long as they found a hosting provider that isn't subject to the DMCA and is willing to ignore DMCA notices (even many non-US providers will respond to them) and doesn't have any DMCA-like laws in their own country that could affect youtube-dl (many others actually do, although they're less publicized on places like HN).
