[llvm-dev] Phabricator Maintenance

[Manuel Klimek via llvm-dev]

Hi folks,

phabricator maintenance is a topic that has been lying dormant for a while
now.

That subsequently creates a non-optimal user experience.
For me personally, given that github provides a secure PR infrastructure,
the additional effort required to keep Phab going is not an investment I'm
personally willing to make. I understand that there are unique selling
points for Phab in its UI compared to github PRs, but there are also
significant downsides in the effort to integrate with Phab that github PRs
make easier.

Thus, I see two options:
1. somebody volunteers to take on Phabricator maintenance and figures out a
way to fund it, either through the LLVM foundation or some other means (I'd
love for us at Google to pay for it directly and give folks outside Google
access, but that is unfortunately a hard problem for a variety of reasons).
I'd be happy to help to provide a DB snapshot for the migration, of course.

2. We switch to github PRs

Thoughts?
/Manuel
