So, first, I think it's fine and good to look at moving off the wiki for
these and to a pull flow. There's of course a ton of details to sort (as
people already are in this thread).

A few things I'll note:

forejo allows you to have more than 1 asignee, so that could be used
for all the change owners. bugzilla accounts are in fas, so easy to
fetch from there.

There needs to be a state for incomplete/pre submission changes.
I suppose this could just be the WIP label/title convention?

Forgejo has templates, so a somewhat guided submission path could be
made. (which beats the wiki's 'copy this page source').

Possbibly controversial, but I think we definitely should keep posting
changes to discourse. I understand that sometimes the feedback there is
from people who aren't normally heavily involved in Fedora and don't
have background on things, but IMHO this is very valuable feedback from
people who are not otherwise involved and sometimes very useful. 
To avoid the split thing, perhaps we could just all use discord for
this? I know, I know... but to me, adding new voices is important, 
and accepting feedback in the place where they are is the way to get
that.

Perhaps we could do something more fancy on discourse to make the copy
of the change there just a copy of the diff that gets fetched on each
reload somehow from forge.fedoraproject.org.

Finally, I think there's some overloading of the change process here.
Changes are intended to be big things that are changing in Fedora Linux.
Things outside that don't fully fit in this process. The change process
is tied to dates around Fedora Linux releases, it's voted on and
discussed by FESCo, etc.  We have talked a number of times in the past
about some other process for non Fedora Linux changes,
but nothing has stuck. 

ie, the migration from pagure.io to forge.fedoraproject.org wasn't
a change (but it was a council objective).
The migration from src.fedoraproject.org from pagure backend
to forgejo isn't really a change in the distribution, just how we 
produce it. The yet to be proposed change to require all packagers use
2fa isnt really a change in the distro, just how we produce it, etc.
I can find a ton of examples in the past.

I don't know if the answer is to make this process less tied to Fedora
the distro, or make a new process, or just keep muddling along as we
have been. ;)
