Maybe a gitlab ticket?  Or ping daniels and ask?

No approval from X.Org foundation or anything like that.. maybe some
general consensus among mesa dev's (or at least a few others who think
it is a good idea).  For the record, I think living under
gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/adriconf makes sense.

> - In this proccess, can we rename the adriconf to use a proper mesa namespace? Right now it is named as br.com.jeanhertel.adriconf which is quite weird, as the intention is not to be a comercial tool. See [Flathub][1].

I guess you are referring to what it is called in flathub?  I guess
that would make more sense.

Yes, I don't think the fd.o admin's are creating new non-gitlab projects.

Hmm, I guess it is possible to set it up so anyone with mesa commit
rights would have adriconf commit rights.  But afaiu gitlab is
somewhat flexible on groups so we could I guess do something more fine
grained.

> - What about GSOC? On the X.Org [page][2] there is still a driconf replacement idea. If we move, can we replace this with some adriconf improvement ideas?

Actually either way we should update the wiki page.  I think you
should be able to create an account and make updates?
