Hi all,

This is now done. EWS only supports the GitHub pull request workflow now. The 
Bugzilla patch workflow (including the commit-queue) is no longer supported.

Status bubbles on existing Bugzilla patches still load their old results, and 
Bugzilla remains how we track issues. If you were still using the patch 
workflow, see https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/wiki/Contributing to get set up 
with PRs.

If you notice any issue, please let me know.

Thanks
Aakash
