The other thing gained by having a gitlab account is that you can create a fork of QEMU, and push subsystem trees to the fork. This will run a load of CI jobs enabling subsystem maintainer to catch many build problems before sending an email PULL to Peter. This will make it more likely the PULL will get merged first time without problems, and reduce the load on Peter letting him do more productive stuff than finding build failures. I think we should have an expectation that all PULLs have undergone GitLab CI testing before being emailed to the list. NB, GitLab CI doesn't cover every platform combo - there is also Cirrus CI and Travis. Maintainer can optionally setup accounts on those too, but I don't think we should seek to require that as it starts to get a bit more conplex to keep everything sane. Just focusing on GitLab CI for subsystem maintainers would be a big enough win on its own I expect. > Gitlab also does support individual accounts updating issues using a > generated personalized email address, so if the email workflow is crucial to > you, it is still available. > > I'm for it, or at least for beginning a pilot program where we experiment > with the idea for interested parties.

A commit message can include a line: Closes https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/NNN When that git commit gets merged to git master in a PULL by Peter, the GitLab issue will be automatically closed, and it will cross-link to the commit. This will eliminate the manual actions that our Launchpad Janitor(s) do today to close old issues that have been fixed, improving the signal/noise ratio.
