Hi all,

We plan to remove support for the Bugzilla patch workflow from EWS 
(ews-build.webkit.org), keeping only the GitHub pull request workflow.

EWS has supported both workflows since GitHub PR support was added in early 
2022. Since then, almost all contributor traffic has moved to PRs. webkitbot, 
the last piece of infrastructure on the patch workflow, was migrated last 
month. Keeping both paths alive significantly increases the amount of code we 
have to maintain and test in EWS, for very little benefit.

What would go away:
- Submitting patches to EWS via r? on a Bugzilla attachment, and the 
submit-to-EWS page.
- The commit-queue (cq+/cq-).

Bugzilla itself is not going anywhere: bugs remain how we track issues, and PRs 
will keep linking to and commenting on them as they do today.

If you are still on the patch workflow, see 
https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/wiki/Contributing to get set up with PRs.

Assuming no objections, we would start removing this in 2 weeks from now. 
Please let me know if you have concerns, or if you have tooling or a workflow 
that depends on the patch based workflow.

Thanks
Aakash
