[llvm-dev] Phabricator Creator Pulling the Plug

[James Y Knight via cfe-commits]

If phabricator/phorge do turn out to be non-viable in the future, I think
we may want to reopen the option of moving to Gerrit for the primary
code-review platform.

I'll note that the Golang folks are using Gerrit as their review platform,
and they have a GitHub bot setup to translate GH pull-requests into a
gerrit review, so as to be friendly to first-time or drive-by contributors.
See e.g. https://github.com/golang/go/pull/47766 for an example.
