On this list.

Broadly speaking, I agree. It's very tempting to have us just move to
Github, and use that workflow. I don't like a bunch of things about it,
but I can't argue that it's better than what we have now, and it is
what people are used to.

That said, I think that in the long-term, it's important to be able to
own and control all aspects of our project, and I want to be certain
that this is true of bugs, reviews, and everything else, which is why
I'm holding out and looking at alternatives such as Phabricator, Pagure
(and in the short term, Patchwork).
