> it would be nice if there was an option for a group-level Readme on Gitlab.

Thanks for the idea. The proposal for Group READMEs is discussed in this thread: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/15041#note_102... Suggest adding your preferences for the proposed solutions, thanks.

Why can't there be a group-level setting that allows me to designate any Markdown file in any of the repos in the group as the group-level readme? You could even make a filename such as GroupReadme.md a reserved name that can only be used once in a group. I could also see someone possibly wanting to move that file -- and it's history -- to another repo as a group matures: you start with repos like "API" and "WebUI" but eventually a "Docs" repo could be created as proof of concept solidifies and accumulates personnel and ceremony.
