Feature Request: Add support to fetch user public profile details including native Profile README

I’d like to propose adding a new feature to the GitLab API wrapper that allows fetching a GitLab user's public profile metadata along with their native profile README, if available.

Information to retrieve:

• Public profile fields:

  • name
  • username
  • bio
  • location
  • organization
  • website_url
  • avatar_url
  • created_at

• Native Profile README contents (if present via username/username project)

Use Case:

Useful for:

• Contributor dashboards
• Dev profile viewers
• Team tooling and automation
• Community insights or public directories

Helps surface key developer information and showcase their README content for branding, skills, or introduction.

Proposed API:

profile = gl.users.get_public_profile("username")

# Example response:
{
    "name": "Jane Dev",
    "username": "janedev",
    "bio": "Open source contributor",
    "location": "Amsterdam, NL",
    "organization": "DevCo",
    "website_url": "https://janedev.io",
    "avatar_url": "https://gitlab.com/uploads/-/system/user/avatar/456/avatar.png",
    "created_at": "2019-06-01T12:00:00Z",
    "profile_readme": {
        "project": "janedev/janedev",
        "file_path": "README.md",
        "content": "# Hello, I'm Jane 👋\n\nWelcome to my profile..."
    }
}

Implementation Notes:

• Use the Users API to retrieve public metadata

• To detect the Profile README:

  • Attempt to fetch the public project at username/username
  • Fetch README.md from the default branch using the Repository Files API

• Ensure graceful failure if:

  • The profile project does not exist
  • The project is private
  • The README does not exist

Optional Enhancements:

• Support returning rendered HTML (via GitLab rendering API, if accessible)
• Allow fallback to plain text or markdown
• Add flag to exclude README if only metadata is needed

Benefits:

• Provides a complete snapshot of a GitLab user’s public presence
• Enables richer automation and profile display tools
