Could you elaborate on what that means exactly ? For most subsystems the 
development process encompasses a large number of tasks, so switching to 
gitlab doesn't mean much without knowing exactly how the new process would 
look like. Which part(s) of the development process would be affected, and how 
? And as an added bonus, it would be helpful if you could also describe why 
you think they don't work today and would be better handled differently.
