As proposed/announced/requested by the CentOS Board
(https://lists.centos.org/hyperkitty/list/devel@lists.centos.org/thread/NFNCTGEXNBNJRM3XK3MGTM472N3EMP4X/)
projects are now encouraged to migrate to gitlab.com/CentOS namespace,
instead of using git.centos.org (pagure).

While we'll announce the git.centos.org migration to gitlab.com later
(for all the rpms/* projects), we (Infra team) thought that it would be
a good idea to move ourselves (and board will probably follow soon ...)
our own tracker from pagure.io to gitlab.com/CentOS/infra.

# What will happen
The current https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issues tracker will be
exported/imported in a new project under gitlab.com/CentOS/infra (to be
announced when migrated).
All metadata/history from open/closed tickets, and labels will be
imported (thanks to the work done by Akashdeep on
https://github.com/fedora-infra/pagure-exporter/ , the tool used to
migrate from pagure to gitlab !)

Worth knowing that only tickets and content will be migrated, but as we
can't impersonate users at gitlab.com sides, tickets will appear to be
created by our bot account used for the migration. You'll be able (and
we plan on closing open tickets on pagure.io with a link to new ticket
on gitlab.com side) to just "subscribe/watch" new ticket to follow
status updates.
For new tickets, normal workflow will resume as you'll be the real user
creating the ticket[s] (with your gitlab.com account, linked to your
ACO/FAS account - see
https://docs.centos.org/centos-sig-guide/auth/#linking-your-centos-account-to-gitlab)

# When will that happen
Migration is scheduled for July 15th, around 1:00pm UTC

The way we'll proceed will be  :
- create new tracker project on gitlab.com/CentOS/infra
- transfer tickets with metadata (that can take some time)
- close all open tickets with link to new ticket (same number !) on
gitlab.com
- set the issue tracker to "read only" on pagure.io/centos-infra
- update README.md on pagure.io with some explanations and link to
gitlab (in case people aren't following devel mailing list)
