Not an objection, but I would miss discovering "interesting" issues by
virtue of bug emails sent to the list.  Several times I've "stumbled
into" bugs on 'qemu-devel' that affect upper layers, or just Damn
Interesting QEMU Bugs™ (especially in the Block Layer) that helped me
gain better understanding, or something is already a "known issue".

That said, the reactions so far seem to be positive for moving to GitLab
Issues.  

Maybe there are some acceptable workarounds.  It looks like there's a
way to subscribe to GitLab issues via email[1]; and I can triage that
maildir as part of my regular email workflow.
