I am almost as excited as Isarra, except that pines prefer to compost creaky old things instead of setting them on fire. (:
Will Bugzilla be available read-only during the transition? It would help to have those reports still available during downtime, along with instructions about how to queue bug reports while Bugzilla is unavailable and Phabricator is not yet online.

Hi, if you were wondering what is going on in Phabricator land...
Summary: You can see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org , you can touch https://phab-01.wmflabs.org/ , you will have a chance to provide feedback about the Bugzilla migration before the migration, based on a test instance with a sample of bugs imported.
In detail:
- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org exists as a read-only instance and it
contains the tasks that were migrated from the now decommissioned fab.wmflabs.org. Registration is disabled while we fix some tasks -- details at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Plan#Migration_plan . We will post here when the issues have been fixed.
- We have a test instance at https://phab-01.wmflabs.org/ where you can
play as much as you want. This instance is for testing and experimenting only. Anything in there can disappear in a whim.
- When we open phabricator.wikimedia.org, the creation of new projects
will be still disabled. Existing projects will be able to continue their work, but we are asking new projects to wait a few weeks, until we complete the Bugzilla migration. It's going to be still a bumpy road before Day 1, and we want to control the impact of these disruptions as much as possible.
RT migration will follow. Details will be shared in advance.
Bugzilla migration will follow. Details will be shared in advance as
well, but we have a rough idea of the sequence of steps. Details available in the migration plan linked above, pasted here for convenience:
- Earliest possible/expected date: October 06 but favoring Friday
October 10 to interrupt engineering less (starting over the weekend). Bugzilla downtime expected of 1-3 days. Checklist:
- Instructions to use Phabricator for bug reporting and project
management.
- Documentation of data and features that will not be available in
Phabricator after the migration. Phabricator test instance available with a sample of Bugzilla reports imported automatically (say 1 of each 10, about 700 reports).
- At least one week of margin to receive community feedback and
implement improvements.
- Documentation of the migration process detailing sequence of steps
and timeline expected.
- Go-NoGo meeting with the Phabricator team (Andre, Chase, Mukunda,
Quim), Erik, Rob, MarkB, and Greg.
Stay tuned. :)
Thank you everyone for working on this. The transition cannot happen soon enough, as far as I'm concerned, so these updates are a shining beacon of hope.
(I had to switch computers and now git review is completely broken for me, with apparently no fix available. Can we burn gerrit? In a huge fire? Please?)
