Re: [Geary] GNOME moving to Gitlab... and Geary?

[Federico Bruni <fede inventati org>]

I've read quickly the long list thread 10 days ago and I remember that 
someone said that below tool had some limitations and they have or will 
have in the future a custom tool for migration.

Last week Carlos Soriano wrote a blog post which explains better the 
current situation:
https://csorianognome.wordpress.com/2017/10/28/gitlab-initiative-small-explanation/

In a nutshell, this is still a testing limited to a few projects. There 
are some bugs that need to be fixed and, most importantly, at the 
moment it's not sure that GNOME will move to Gitlab. Even if Carlos is 
confident of the improvements and the positive feedback so far...

I guess that we'd better wait.
Well, the bug squash/triage party mentioned by Mike might happen 
whenever we want :-)
I'm not sure how non-developers might help here. Finding duplicates 
maybe?

We have 728 open bugs. Here's the list sorted from the oldest change:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&limit=0&list_id=261620&order=changeddate%2Cpriority%2Cbug_severity&product=geary&query_based_on=&query_format=advanced
