I would like to try it.
1. It would give Mesa developers some more experience with Gitlab issue
tracking, without switching Mesa over - which we aren't ready to do.
(I personally am fairly happy with Bugzilla as it stands.)
2. I think hardly anyone looks at Piglit Bugzilla. There are very few
bugs filed there---but more importantly, very few people actually
read or update them. Yesterday I went through them and found some
bugs that were likely fixed ages ago, but never closed. Others were
filed years ago and long since forgotten.
I think using Gitlab issues would provide greater visibility to any
issues we want to track. They'd be right there on the same webpage
with MRs. MR discussions can link to them. Email notifications can
happen and are easily customizable.
