But unless I missed this, was there any discussion regarding the recent "Winding Down" announcement of Phabricator? and what it might mean for us in LLVM

I think we have our own self-hosted version and enough local people that has hacked on it to "maintain" it, but we'd stop getting the updated from upstream, which have been substantial over the years.

I don't think this should be a rush to replace with an alternative, as there is no imminent peril, but it is an additional important point for the ongoing discussion of potential transition.

Personally I'm excited by the concept of a community driven replacement (

https://we.phorge.it/) . epriestley did a truly amazing job, it wasn't open to public contributions. Perhaps more open development could lead to closing some of the github gaps that were of concern.

IMO, it would have to be seriously active upstream, understand our existing database "as is" and import without problems, and interface with Github more closely to be worth the hassle of migration.

Github pull requests don't seem to be improving a lot, so "phorge" may be the right answer sooner than they catch up...
