Everyone, there is some lively discussion happening right now around trying
to unify the various tools in our workflow - at the team levels as well as
at the org/project level.
The idea is to try and find a way to minimize and/or eliminate the fact
that we use 23872394 different tools to manage bugs, plan our work, track
our work, manage/review code changes/etc - and that those tools are not
even necessarily consistent across teams.
The growing consensus appears to be around using Phabricator as The Tool to
Rule them All - it would replace bugzilla, gerrit, mingle/trello/your
(least) favorite PM tool/etc.
Especially for those of you that are frustrated by Mingle/BZ/Gerrit/etc -
you should spend some time playing with some of the tools being proposed
and weigh in on the discussion. Relevant links are:

My personal view at the moment is that Phabricator seems really cool but
lacks some of the power and flexibility we get with Mingle in terms of
organizing our work, viewing cards, planning, controlling workflows, etc
(in some respects, I would say it is much closer to how Trello works),
however these features are currently in Beta and may evolve for greater
flexibility.
