Apart from the interface of GitLab and a nice countdown script (instead 
of the old script that was used) it's more or less the same process as 
before. Different developers, different interface. Patch testing has 
been completely automated so all you are doing is viewing reg test diffs 
(middle green tick on the MR, find the link in the cmd window and clikc 
on it in a browser).

All you need is a gitlab login and email.
