Collateral summary: a transition to Phabricator has started, and this project is just taking advantage of it.

Can we please not use Phabricator until it's an actual production service? We still don't have IRC notifications, mailing lists, documentation, etc. Most people don't even look at it because, well, it's a test instance, not an actual thing people should be using.
Phabricator is supposed to become an actual production service within a few weeks. We are using it here for tracking tasks more than tracking bugs, and the workboard is a useful interface to see at a glance which RfCs are ready to be reviewed.
Lack of IRC notifications is not a dealbreaker in this project, since we didn't have it either in the purely MediaWiki-base process we had before. Mailing lists... will be used in the same way. Documentation... what do you need? Please check and ask at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help
Most people probably don't need to look at this project. For the architects and the few other people that have to follow it, I'm sure that notifications will work just fine.
I'm also reminded of Mark's comments in [1]: If a URL has "wmflabs.org"
in it...don't put anything, ANYTHING, important there.
For what is worth, some projects are posting important information in this Phabricator instance, and its content is being backed up periodically.
