Given past trends (twists and turns), I would be slightly
concerned that the long term trend might be that we should all use
GitLab and that the Foundation will want to support only one thing
and rather two, to save resource. Of course that could be a
misguided thought, but resource savings do often seem to be a
driving factor...
In any case, I think Rolf's suggestion to consider carefully the
pros and cons of the workflows are a very good suggestion. My
feeling is that the current decision making process seems somewhat
spontaneous and anecdotal.

Dirk, All,
Please at this concern to the wiki page.
Besides the legal consideration, is there a difference in
the intended workflow on GitHub or GitLab? IMHO the discussion
should first be about the envisioned workflow, the differences
between that envisioned workflow and the current workflow, and
how the change would impact the current way of working (and
current committers). Then it can be evaluated how the workflow
can be executed on the different platforms/tools. With that a
motivated choice for one of the platforms can be made. After
that, a migration and/or improvement plan can be made, both
for the way of working as well as moving the code & build
tools.
Is there a decision made with regards to
GitHub vs GitLab? As far as I understood there are legal
constraints to consider. That is why the foundation prefers
GitLab.
I'm not sure if anyone mentioned the
"forced" migration to gitlab?
Does it make sense to migrate anything
to github if it will subsequently need
to be migrated to gitlab anyway?
I'm just asking...
This is news to me. I have not heard
anything about leaving github.

How about starting with the
websites. In 99% of the cases, the
websites don't need to dance with
Gerrit, but ATM is required.
The websites are ideal for
casual contributions, especially
with the 5-minute deployments that
the webmasters have built, there
is instant gratification.
It would also help us. We can
update websites super fast with
the GH workflow.
