Hi everyone,

I think its time we discussed whether we're going to continue to do patch review
on the mailing list, or if it it should all go through gitlab. I think we should
stop using the mailing list, here are some reasons:

1) Most development is happening on gitlab at this point, patches on the mailing
    list are often overlooked
2) The mailing list bypasses CI which potentially breaks the build
3) Probably more reasons I'm forgetting.

I think effectively we're already there.

What concrete change would you propose?

Removing mention of the mailing list from documentation would be nice. Also, currently the README implies that the mailing list is not only acceptable but preferred: "Note that Mesa uses email mailing-lists for patches submission, review and discussions."

Relatedly, is GitLab preferred also for piglit? The HACKING file there also specifically prescribes using the mailing list, but I've noticed that patches submitted to the mailing list by myself and another new contributor have gone unreviewed for several weeks.
