I have started a wiki page to compare gitolite and gitlab https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/GitNext Everyone please contribute there. > I know that the process is far away from the point where it should be know. > However the plan is still to move to gitolite. > > I don't think that gitlab is able to replace git.debian.org in its current > implementation.

Since we already maintain gitlab package in debian (currently in sid, expecting to be released with stretch), I don't think huge dependency is a problem, it will just use a bit more disk space. And for managing, would more volunteers stepping up to maintain it help? Also what specific features are missing from gitlab? Can you provide a list? Does gitolite allow merge requests? How easy it is for a new contributor to use gitolite? I think the merge request workflow is really the key. > Alex - with his alioth admin hat on > > P.S.
