I'm not thrilled about it either, but I believe that once we get used to the
new workflow we'll learn to appreciate all the possibilities a GitForge tool
brings to the table.

One point that I already made earlier in the thread: having to track discussions
in two places (mailing list and Gitlab) will be annoying. I understand that the
idea is that we'll organically move move all possible discussions to Gitlab.
I'd rather make it a blunt and quick directive: once we moved to Gitlab, mailing
list is completely discouraged unless it's a topic that needs to be discussed
together with the QEMU or any other mailing list. If we leave to personal
preference we'll have people posting stuff everywhere.
