I agree. BTW, in that vein there are some ways in which we could improve
the integration of Phabricator with our own wikis, e.g. by adding the
ability to reuse images from Commons on Phabricator
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T116515> (also to encourage people to
upload illustrations to Commons during development already, so that they
can be reused directly on the wikis afterwards, for user documentation and
organizational reports) , and by auto-updating the status of tasks in "Tracked"
templates <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Tracked>.
