No objections, and Andre & Guillaume think it is a good idea. Project
created.

I have no idea how exactly this will evolve, and I'm totally new to
Phabricator beyond silly tests. That is also the point of this approach,
all newbies are welcome, especially if you happen to be advanced users of
our current tools. Do you miss anything, create a task to fix it. Let's see
how it goes.

And remember, there is still an RfC to be deviced. This Phabricator project
is a practical complement to that discussion, not a substitution of it.
