There are also a few others for CI, translation, etc. IMHO these papercuts add up. Browsing and cross-referencing issues and patches is way harder than it is with other forges. Not saying we need to switch, maybe it's easier to just add the missing functionality. Or maybe it doesn't matter to anyone else.
