Very glad to see this Gitlab thing moving forward!
Personally, I'd like to use MRs for at least Weston development. I'm much happier reviewing them there than mail, and although the workflow isn't perfect, mail certainly isn't either. Some other people said they preferred a mail workflow for wayland-protocols. That does make a little more sense to me, though if Weston moves to GitLab, then it would make wayland-protocols the odd one out for protocol development: AGL using Gerrit review, Enlightenment/EFL using Phabricator review, GENIVI using Gerrit review, Mutter/GTK+ using GNOME GitLab MRs, KDE using Phabricator review, Qt using Gerrit review, Tizen using a mix of Gerrit and Phabricator, Weston using fd.o GitLab MRs, and wlc/wlroots using GitHub review. But our volume of protocol review is small enough that it's probably not a massive deal. Similarly, I have a preference for using MRs for the core Wayland repo, but again we don't have a super high volume of patches right now. Using MRs would also allow us to hook up CI pipelines so we could get fast feedback on whether the basic build and checks succeeded, which I think is pretty helpful given the number of times we've broken distcheck lately. What do others think?
