Okay, so let me try to briefly summarize the expressed opinions on the
list so far (correct me if I got something wrong or missed a point):
Han-Wen is in favor of Gerrit; David leans towards GitLab; Federico and
me are in favor of GitLab; Werner is fine with both solutions.
David, Dan, and Federico comment that Gerrit would still leaves us with
SF for hosting the issues; James says that image attachments (without
sharing links) are a good thing to have - as far as I understand for
both bug reports and reviews.

Given that I would like to propose that we carry a trial of gitlab.com.
I would have liked this to happen in the https://gitlab.com/lilypond
group, but I haven't heard back from Janek on granting access. So I guess I 
will prune the previous test migration and dump the current set of issues to 
also make sure that we're satisfied with the migration script. I'll announce 
once ready and whoever wants to participate can send me the username on 
gitlab.com to add to the project.
