[core-workflow] Questions about the proposed workflows

[Brett Cannon]

It's Dec 1, which means it's time for any questions people have about the
proposed workflows so we can get answers by Dec 15.

I have one question that applies to both proposals and one specific to
GitLab. The general one is whether both Guido and me can both be happy. :)
Guido doesn't want intermediate commits nor what he calls "merge turds" to
show up in the history. I want to be able to do merges from the browser. Do
either GitHub or GitLab provide a way through the web UI to give Guido what
he wants, or will it always require having a checkout and SSH keys set up
in order to do a PR merge? If only Guido can be made happy then that means
either proposal becomes an easy way for people to get code hosting for
their forks and a review tool but not a PR management platform since merges
would occur outside the website and merges would simply be a `git push`
which is basically what we do now to do the final merge for a patch.

The GitLab-specific question is what, if anything, is GitLab prepared to
offer us? Both Nick and Barry have hinted that GitLab would host us, listen
to our needs, etc., but it has always seemed to be speculation. Do we have
concrete information as to what GitLab is willing to do for us?
