Subject: [PATCH] gitlab-ci: Allow non-devs to run package pipelines from MR
 description

Following 6245e4ee

In addition to producing testable packages by adding certain labels
(which only developers can do), now we can produce such packages by
adding the same label in the issue description. This facilitates to
non-developers generating such packages (e.g. new GsoC contributors).
