Some use pull requests to do that (please don't), some have a mailing list. I see libvirt in the latter group. And to some extent, we are already in that situation. I mean, if I were a drive by contributor, I would subscribe to the list, post my patches and ignore the rest of incoming e-mails from the list. Maybe I'm misunderstanding and what is suggested it to move even all the discussion to gitlab. If that is the case, I stand by you. We should not do that. But if we are moving just the repo then I guess it is fine.
