Gnome has moved to GitLab

>Before migrating, GNOME used a broad range of tools to fulfil a number of specific purposes – from CGit for hosting to Bugzilla for bug tracking – but the number of tools made the onboarding experience for new contributors cumbersome and confusing. They started looking for a single tool to meet more of their needs to make this process easier and to improve their own workflows.

It's a fundamental problem of open source projects hosting on GitHub. I don't think the the Fossil colocation model is necessarily right, but some open protocol is needed so that issues can be easily migrated between these services.
