Partner with Creative Commons Search for Image Repositories
Problem to solve
As a maintainer of an image repository which may have emotes, icons, or game assets, I like to use GitLab as the central place to keep and maintain them. However, as said assets are released under Creative Commons, I'd also like to see them on Creative Commons Search.
Intended users
Artists, or maintainers of repositories consist of many images under Creative Commons, such as emotes, icons, or game assets.
User experience goal
A user should be able to use GitLab CI similarly to how GitLab Pages works to publish a special folder which can be indexed by Creative Commons Search.
Proposal
It would be great if GitLab could partner with Creative Commons and have a Collection, which allows indexing of artifacts of the creative-commons
deploy task in GitLab CI, so that the public can freely index them.
Further details
While this may not sound directly relevant to software development, it strongly ties in with many repositories for games, or websites, that release their assets under Creative Commons. It would be great for repositories to have their assets exposed on Creative Commons Search and any integrating services. This is also wonderful for public that will be able to find these permissively licensed images for their usages, especially for game assets.

Availability & Testing
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
We'll see more assets available under the Creative Commons which will be linked in various websites, namely the Creative Commons Search website itself. All images can be linked back to the respective GitLab repository, and thus GitLab itself which may marginally increase traffic to image repositories from users searching for Creative Commons assets.
What is the type of buyer?
Is this a cross-stage feature?
