Explore publishing GET Ansible collection archive

GET supports installation as collection by https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections_guide/collections_installing.html#installing-a-collection-from-a-git-repository, however there are cases when customers are limited on performing SSH requests. Their workaround is to download Git repo from HTTPS and build the collection. The request is to explore if there is a way to publish GET Ansible collection archive.

The limitation is that there is no native storage solution for Ansible collections in GitLab, so this would require publishing collection to Ansible Galaxy or other approaches (like Release linking - 1, 2). Each approach would require additional maintenance.
