I think that was because nobody (or at least not many people) had the idea to ever switch to another system. The mailing list seemed to be the chosen system by Solderpunk at the time so nobody questioned it. And since it is pretty easy to find a point that makes you not like something, switching was bound to make some people unhappy. That said, I want to do some complaining too, hoping that somebody has a solution: Imagine that as with the mailing list before, I (only) want to read all the discussions without going through all the separate issue pages (I think that's what PJ vM was trying to point out). I found that Gitlab provides an atom feed[1], which I hoped would do exactly what I wanted. But there are several problems with it: a) It is not a valid atom feed [2]. b) It seems that it only contains the first comment of each issue and to follow the discussion, I once again have to go through all the pages. I hope that I was just too stupid to find the link that lets me look at all comments in a feed format. Or if Gitlab does not provide that, maybe someone can build a thing that lets us do that. I think that would be really helpful.
