[HarfBuzz] Migrating HarfBuzz to GitLab

[Behdad Esfahbod]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the message.  I've been following the migration...

That said, for all that matters, we have essentially had already moved to
github.  Right now:

  - Source is both pushed to fdo and github (whenever I push).  Others'
work is merged to github, I pull&&push to get to fdo,

  - We've abandoned our bugzilla.  Github issues and pull-requests are used,

  - We still use the mailing list, but most topics can be moved to github
issues IMO.  We still use the list to email commit logs,

  - We like to migrate away from our fdo wiki and host on Github.

  - Releases have always been hosted on fdo (
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/harfbuzz/release/).  Recently we
started also uploading them on Github.

So, with gitlab migration in mind, I think I like to continue to keep a git
mirror there, but use Github for the rest.

I'll set up my gitlab and file a ticket after.

Thanks,

behdad
