So IIRC we decided that we wanted to do this git.qemu.org -> gitlab
switchover, but not during the 5.2 release. 5.2 is now out the door,
so what's the next step to do the changeover? Now seems like a good
time to do it so we can be happy we've dealt with any snags well
before we get towards softfreeze.
