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.
