GitLab is a great tool, but it doesn't have the momentum of GitHub and
using it would be almost no improvement for the community compared to
sticking to Bugzilla/Gerrit; contributors would still need to do things
differently for Eclipse project as what they do for __quote any popular
GitHub project__. Migrating to GitLab is not profitable for Eclipse project
IMO; migration cost would be the same with GitHub (relatively big), value
would be just a slightly better tool but still not the de-facto standard of
open-source development.
