After discussing with Kristof offline, we figured that these topics are
likely to interest the same crowd, so we went with booking a single slot
for  "GitHub potential next steps". I wrote this abstract in the form:

*We're almost on GitHub! It is a good opportunity to brainstorm on possible
evolutions of the workflow and the infrastructure. There are opportunities
around being able to run builds and test on code before pushing, and the
possibility of using pull-requests either for the purpose of pre-merge
testing or for code reviews! Also is bugzilla still providing what we want
to track issues? Should we consider GitHub issues? Are there other options?*

This is just a placeholder though, I think we should set an agenda and make
sure we allocate time to go through each of the topic.

Best,
