No, it's not just that.

We have some automation using the bugzilla APIs directly, and
someone(tm) needs to figure out how this should work with gitlab. Maybe
we have a better chance of doing things with gitlab's APIs, maybe we can
reduce our dependence on external logic altogether.

We have special "i915 platform" and "i915 features" fields in
bugzilla. We use a mailing list default assignee. Some of us use the
"whiteboard" and "keywords" fields. Etc.

I don't think figuring all this out is rocket science, but someone needs
to actually do it, and get our workflows straightened out *before* we
flip the switch. I'm just trying to figure out if that is a blocker to
migrating the repos.

BR,
Jani.
