Gitlab for Wine

[Alexandre Julliard]

Folks,

I'm happy to announce that we now have an experimental Gitlab instance
for Wine development. Many thanks to everybody who worked on setting
this up, notably Arkadiusz Hiler, Derek Lesho, Jeremy Newman and
Jeremy White.

You can find it at: https://gitlab.winehq.org

You should be able to register an account and start playing with it.
Currently it contains projects for the main Wine tree, the WineHQ
tools, and the WineHQ website. You should be able to fork any of these
trees and submit merge requests.

We have added a mail gateway that will take merge requests and comments
posted on Gitlab, and forward them to wine-devel, so that the full
project activity will still be visible on the mailing list.  Most
actions can also be accomplished from the command line, with the help of
tools like https://github.com/profclems/glab or
https://github.com/zaquestion/lab.

There's also a wine-demo project that you can use as a playground to
test sending merge requests or debug your scripts without messing up the
real project. wine-demo activity is not forwarded to wine-devel, so feel
free to make mistakes there.

Note that no decision has been made to switch to Gitlab yet. This is
still an experiment, and if it turns out that it doesn't work for us,
we'll scrap it and try something else.

That said, I do think that it has the potential to be a very nice
improvement, so I'll ask everybody to give it a chance. Please try it
to see if it can be made to fit with your workflow, and report what
works/doesn't work for you.

I'll send a separate email to describe what I expect that the final
workflow would look like.

Looking forward to your feedback...
