Okay, that makes sense. I don't see the benefits of moving the

to GitLab at this point, so I'd welcome you selling me on that. ...
One of the main selling points of Gitlab, for me at least, is the
online editing experience. There's a web IDE, which has syntax
highlighting and validation. More importantly, it allows someone to
submit changes without having to be familiar with PR workflows - you
just click the "commit" button and it will create an MR for you. (A
screenshot of what this commit step looks like in Gitlab:

Creating a fork, cloning it, and then creating a PR through Pagure is
a bit involved and requires existing knowledge, which will surely put
some potential contributors off. Some of these Gitlab features could
help us to overcome those issues.
