Re: Issue tracking for Inkscape moves to Gitlab

Yeah, I would love to see this capability, and think it'd help users and
developers a lot.  And you're right this would be the perfect time to
introduce something.  But other than roughing in the concept, progress
on implementing it has not moved very far forward.  I'd love to see us
work on introducing a solution for this in the future, so I'd like us to
keep it as a long term goal, but I don't think it is worth delaying
moving ahead on using gitlab issues.

I also worry about seeing an unmanageable amount of bug reports coming
in.  Hopefully that doesn't happen soon.  If it does start to become a
problem we'll need to rethink plans.  There may be more than one way to
solve this problem, so it's worth keeping open to alternate ideas.
