This is describing an operationally bad thing as a good thing. Anyone trying to review development activity or find code to review has to check three places (actually four, since they should check the trac issue report too). I’ve been quite unhappy with this setup in GEOS land, and I hadn’t even realized I was ignoring a whole third point of development (gitlab) in my usual trolling for activity.

I honestly don’t know what to say, I find the whole situation quite flumoxing.
