[Qgis-psc] Moving the issue queue to github

[Sandro Santilli]

Hi, if it can be useful I tried to answer a few questions
(and a comment slipped in, sorry about that)

GL has its own CI system, gitlab-ci. It's built-in and part
of the open source version too.

See for example: https://gitlab.com/postgis/postgis/builds

I've understood you could plug your own builders in addition or
in place of the shared ones.

For PostGIS we use both github and gitlab as mirrors, it's
pretty easy to do, in general.

Migrating a GIT repository is really simple:

  git remote set-url origin git at gitlab.com:qgis/qgis.git

Nothing, compared to what it takes to move tickets.
Planning in advance might make the next move last longer.
