It would definitely solve that problem, but there are a few practical 
problems with this:

- People would continue to need two accounts (BKO and identity/invent), 
and the systems wouldn't be integrated as well as thy could be, which 
negates some of the purported advantages of moving to GitLab in the 
first place

- GitLab Issues are lacking some of the features of Phabricator Tasks 
such as parent & sub-task tracking

- Using GitLab Issues exclusively to replace Phab Tasks will confuse 
users who are accustomed to using Issues for bug reporting in other 
projects (though I suppose this could be remedied by renaming "Issues" 
to "Tasks" in the UI, and implementing a template that explicitly says 
"Don't use this to report bugs")
