I agree with Johannes here.  Although I am one of the (many) people who would love to see us move from Phabricator to GitHub PRs, I think it is super important that we do the transition all at once to keep the LLVM community together.  I’m already concerned about the fragmentation the discourse server is causing, e.g. MLIR not using a -dev list.  I’d rather the community processes stay consistent.
