Invent/gitlab, issues and bugzilla

[Bhushan Shah]

Hello,

Thanks Luigi for starting discussion,

Adding little bit of context on why this discussion is needed. This
discussion was triggered by calindori getting included in the KDE group
on gitlab.

Calindori previously was developed fully on gitlab and would prefer to
use gitlab for as many things as it can. I've also incubated Kaidan[1]
which was using self-hosted gitlab infrastructure, and have total of
approximately 200+ issues before incubating into KDE, with multiple
contributors.

Now we have following options,

a) force these repositories to use bugzilla instead of gitlab till we
   come up with the solution to drkonqi problem.
b) open a bugzilla product for compatibility with drkonqi and keep using
   gitlab for internal issues/bugs.

I think solution b is least invasive solution to problem. and on
personal note, I think if we have some infrastructure (gitlab issues)
and if we force projects to not use it. I don't think it makes much
sense.. and if it is our stance then we better close incubator
projects..

Again this is my personal opinion and doesn't represent the KDE
community's or KDE Sysadmin team's opinion.

Thanks.
