We're happy on GitHub and have no plans to move to GitLab.

Quoting Vladimir, "On the other hand with Bugzilla we are fully in control and own our data, which allows doing a few things not possible with GitHub".

GitLab il free software, available and installable on a private server, like Bugzilla, so both the chicken and the eggs.

But I fully understand that a migration to GilHub is just fine right now.

Sure. You mean, GitHub + Bugzilla?

No, I mean GitHub. We're not happy with the our version of Bugzilla anymore, which is why we want to either move the issues to GitHub or see if the Bugzilla Harmony is good for us. But we have no reason to move the D projects away from GitHub to GitLab. GitLab has never entered the conversation.

Two reasons would be that

  1. It already offers an integration with bugzilla.
  2. Being open source it can be installed on your own hardware, which is the main argument being made for using bugzilla.

It also has integrated CI.

I have no opinion on point #1, but for #2, I do not see that as a benefit. We're aiming to integrate all of our services. As I see it, the less we have to manage ourselves, the better. If we did for some reason want to migrate to GitLab, my vote would be to let them host us.

But my point was, GitHub has worked well for us for years. There's no desire to move away that I'm aware of. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Definitely. Personally I think moving the tickets to GitHub is a good idea, I just felt these points needed to be made for completeness.

I agree, I personally only use Github, so for me it's preferable that D stays on Github.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

Well.. There's 'fixing it' and there's 'improving it'.

They are not the same thing.

In my opinion, gitlab is not an improvement.
