So, how does that track with this quote from the decision blog post?

"Some top level requirements which helped us arrive at this decision
[to choose Gitlab]:

There is a need for CentOS Stream to integrate with a kernel workflow
that is an automated bot driven merging solution (merge trains). This
allows for richer CI capabilities and minimises the need for human
interaction"

If you did not evaluate Gitlab CI (and presumably CI capabilities of
the three systems more widely), how did the need for a CI feature -
that is what "merge trains" are - act as a "top level requirement"
which "helped us arrive at this decision"?

I'm talking specifically about CI as a capability, in that specific integrations at a CI level for hooks and other nice stuff which has several known issues in Pagure at an API level, we evaluated that high level requirement. Some stakeholders do not want to use the built in Gitlab CI as we have CentOS CI used extensively and some have homebrewed systems that they use. Hence why we did not go deep on CI at a very functional level outside of known limitations and desires that came up as direct requirements.

Merge trains and that capability is plugin / CI based and was explicit in it's scope (it was called out as a need to have merge train functionality) Vs CI in general as it was named as a need. We had discussed that Zuul was a possibility around Pagure as part of that.
