Yeah, I'm not sure what they mean by "migrate their communities".
I'm not exactly real clear on "... and open source projects" either. Debian used to use Alioth [0] pretty extensively. Maybe they're getting rid of that and moving everything that was on there to GitLab.
I get that this is a press release but it could be a bit more informative, IMO.

- magpi3 9y agoI follow the debian devel list and yes they are moving away from alioth
- tribaal 9y agoThat's exactly what the link you pasted says - Debian is closing Alioth and migrate to using gitlab. No automatic migration is planned - you need to migrate the repos you are responsible for yourself.
- jepler 9y agoThe Debian project has been investigating several alternatives to Alioth's version control functionality. I have not 100% kept up on the discussion, but I think gitlab is either selected for sure or is a leading candidate. https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/GitNext https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/GitNext Even if they adopt gitlab for version control and pull requests, it's a very misleading headline that the "debian community" will be migrated to gitlab.
