You noticed that, too, huh? :)

While the update makes me even more keen to move some of our work
projects away from GitHub and back to GitLab (which we were already
considering for reasons related to GitHub's limited access control
management options for private repos), I didn't see anything that made
me go "Yes, we absolutely need this for CPython".

After all, GitLab's "migrate away from GitHub" features are hardly
going to get *worse* over time, so the risk of CPython actually
getting *stuck* on GitHub is very low.  That means the main persistent
workflow changes in the current migration are moving code review away
from the issue tracker and into the repository management system,
enabling bots to handle certain mundane review tasks (checking for CLA
signatures, running the tests) and switching to self-service
management of SSH keys for client authentication.

Cheers,
Nick.
