Hi all.
I am reading https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Migration and it says:
"A review of our project management tools [1] was started, including an assessment of our needs and requirements, and a discussion of available options. A request for comment [2] was set up to gauge interest in simplifying our development toolchain and consolidating our tools (gitblit, Gerrit, Jenkins, Bugzilla, RT, Trello, and Mingle) into Phabricator. The result of the RFC was in favor of Phabricator."
The RFC linked is https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Phabricator . It is clearly put wrong. People were not given alternatives. They were told "let's move to Phabricator" and they said "OK, let's do that". I am frustrated. Decide on X, open a "let's do X", get support - this is not how decisions are done.
Would anyone oppose me writing another RFC detailing all the available options (including staying with bugzilla and what cons it has) and posting an URL to it here?
The RFC was open for quite some time. You missed the comment period, which is unfortunate, but the decision has already been made and work is already underway to switch.
