Bug ID: 47539 Summary: Consider switching from Bugzilla to Gitlab Product: WineHQ Bugzilla Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: bugzilla-unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: lorendias@gmail.com CC: austinenglish@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Other open source projects such-as Gnome, GIMP, etc... have benefited from switching to Gitlab -- a more modernized collaborative self hosted tool.
I searched a bit and was surprised that I couldn't find a similar discussion for WineHQ.
I suggest doing some research and considering the benefits of switching -- easier identification of bugs via screenshots or screen-casts can be included on inline posts. Communications have better Text Markup and can be upvoted or have reactions. Version control and patches are really straight forward.
I feel that Gnome is a good example of a project benefited as it really it made it easier for the larger community to coordinate, communicate, and participate. I think that Gitlab's style is average of what current day developers expectation as it mirrors tooling already commonly in use -- GitHub in many ways.

And now that GitHub is owned by Microsoft and built into VS Code and Microsoft Coding tooling I think it would be easier to encourage developers to participate by having familiar tools.
