[GHC DevOps Group] The future of Phabricator

[Manuel Chakravarty]

Hi Ben,

With my DevOps Group Chair hat on, it seems that GitLab (as proposed by you) provides a suitable road forward (both in technical terms and in terms of being a compromise that most people are reasonably happy with). So, let’s do it!

Could you please make a list of all the tasks that need to be done and attach approximate effort/timelines where possible? (Maybe as a wiki page?)

Cheers,
Manuel

In the past when moving to GitHub was brought up, there were a handful of core contributors who argued strongly in favour of Phabricator, do we think that's changed? Do we have any indication of whether the survey respondents who were anti-Phabricator would be pro- or anti-GitLab?
