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

      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.
