And this is done!

The organisation is at: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio

Existing open bugs have been migrated, and new issues should be filed against 
the relevant project (for example 
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/issues)

We are also transitioning from patches sent to the mailing list to MRs (merge 
requests). The simple description of the workflow is that you create a fork 
using the GitLab UI, create a branch, push your changes, and then get back to 
the web UI which will let you create a merge request from your fork/branch. 
(more details at 
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/gitlab-basics/add-merge-request.html)

That's it. Please chime in if you have questions/comments.

Cheers,
Arun

p.s.: My heartfelt thanks to Daniel Stone and the freedesktop.org admin team 
for the super quick migration.
