Yes. > Does this proposal mean that > pull requests would have to switch to gitlab merge requests, I mirror my stuff to gitlab/github anyway, for CI coverage. Increases the chance that errors are catched by CI not Peter. With that already in place the step to do a gitlab pull req is pretty small. Nevertheless that is a separate discussion.
