Possible issue:
1 Being able to use Emacs for all these needs. One way is being able to
interact with the VC system using emails, i.e. issues, features,
discussions should have a nice and efficient email interface in
addition to using a website. Another approach is using the wonderful
Magit and Forge packages. Forge currently is lacking the discussions
feature but has a very good git + pull-requests + org-mode
integration abilities.
2 Changing processes, how people operate. Whether it's the technical
aspect of a pull-request approval vs. patch submission to the more
conceptual change of dealing with "issues" representing bugs, ideas,
feature requests or general discussions instead of mailing lists.
These changes shouldn't be too disruptive. However I do believe a
small price has to be paid in order to go from one local minima of
effort in a given practice to another, hopefully better local minima.
Does this describe well the current situation?
What areas need attention in order to facilitate the change?
At the time, someone filed an issue with GitLab with a description of
the problems we discovered. I'm quite sure the issue ID was posted
here. I suggest to find that issue and read it (unless you already
did), because AFAIR there were several aspects to it, certainly more
than just 2 you mention.
