I agreed Nicolas's comment.
And i think maybe we should try AB Test some month,
use both ML & gitlab, the developers can review PR base gitlab who
like review on gitlab, keep current status if developer like review
base ML.
We could move to gitlab if developer have many counts growth.
We should keep current status if developer have a few growth.
Everything can be showed by growth data, the growth data can say move
to gitlab is right or wrong.

And i agreed with Thilo, everything in community should be recorded
and save storage.

I like current FFmpeg community status, FFmpeg community looks have
solid historical foundation, looks not light as a feather.  And i
usually use github communicate with other opensource project.

If developers have interested in FFmpeg, they can learn how to
contribute code, document and other thing to ffmpeg, At least that's
how I feel.


Thanks
