Old Bugzilla patches -> new GitLab branches

[philip chimento gmail com]

Hello list,

tl;dr:

(1) You may already have won a free rebase of your stale Bugzilla patches. Yay!

(2) If you have WIP branches in the main repository, please move them to your fork.

Some of you list subscribers may have old unreviewed or needs-work patches for GJS sitting in Bugzilla. As we prepare to migrate the still-open Bugzilla bugs to GitLab, I want to make sure those patches aren't lost.

I have rebased all of them and brought them up to date with GJS coding style. Some, I found, were already fixed, or unsalvageable, and those I closed. The remaining ones I pushed to new branches in GNOME/gjs, of the form wip/<username>/<bugzilla-bug-number>-<bugzilla-bug-title>. In the case where I didn't know your username I chose something that is hopefully recognizable to you.

Once the Bugzilla bugs are migrated over to GitLab, I'll make merge requests out of those branches and associate them with the new GitLab issues. At that point, I hope the new, easy workflow will provide encouragement to fix up and land the merge requests!

I also intend to delete some old branches from the repository, if they contain code that has already been merged. Code that hasn't been merged I'll leave there for the time being, but if you have a work-in-progress feature in the GJS repository, I'd appreciate it if you can move the branch to your own fork in GitLab.

Thanks,

Philip
