Changing .gitconfig won't be enough, per-repo changes will still be
needed (although kdesrc-build could be updated to do those for you
too).

Currently if a project moves to gitlab, you need to change
git at git.kde.org:kdenlive to git at invent.kde.org:kde/kdenlive (note the
kde/ addition). If that was all, in principle you could use insteadOf
to map kde: to "git at invent.kde.org:kde/". But depending on future
discussions about structure, it's possible that eg. kcoreaddons will
end up moving to frameworks/kcoreaddons rather than kde/kcoreaddons.
