I'm skeptical that gitlab wikis will solve content issues. :) > And I'm not strongly tied to bugzilla vs gitlab's issue tracking. Another project I'm involved with had a contingency that swore github's "issues" were completely inadequate compared to bugzilla, which is to say that I don't think there is consensus on this point. :) For that (smaller) project, I thought github's issues were fine compared to bugzilla. For (the larger) Mesa project, I'm not so sure. > Afaui cgit will remain, so if you don't like the github/gitlab UI, > you are mostly free to ignore it. That is not quite the feeling I was getting from daniels on irc. Seems like they'd be looking to drop cgit as soon as they can. It was a vibe of yeah, sure, we can keep running that if needed, but we don't want to. > And if changing the push URL for mesa is the only real downside for > making life easier for the admins, then I don't really see the > problem.
