Transition from Bugzilla to GitLab has begun

[Simon Steinbeiss]

Hi everyone,

quick status update:

DONE: www, bindings, thunar-plugins, (97% of) panel-plugins
TODO: apps, xfce

You can see the full status of the migration in a graphical overview here:

Cheers
Simon

PS: If you have received lots of bugmail I'm (not) sorry ;)
