I assume you mean here moving to use GitLab for *all* bug tracking,
not merely security bug tracking ? I don't think it would be sane
to split our process across different bug trackers.

I have no love for LP, so wouldn't disagree with a move to GitLab,
especially if we're intending to expand its usage for other parts
of QEMU project infrastructure. If we ever use it as the canonical
git repo host, then I'd say using its bug tracker too is pretty
much a no-brainer.
