We would need a core Gradle and/or Kotlin developer to tackle this 
issue, but I don't think they are interested in spending days or weeks 
figuring out an upgrade path for old versions of Gradle.

If I remember well, the repository creation script [1] for the Java team 
disables the CI feature, because at the time it was written the Salsa CI 
wasn't implemented yet.

I'd like KGB to report commits but not CI builds, if that's possible.

That's indeed a convenience, but with an energy cost and a CO2 impact on 
the planet.
