personal preference, but looking at my peers it is clear that they
overwhelmingly prefer the "pull-request GUI" workflow. Looking at
bugzilla I don't see what it does differently from sourcehut's ticket
tracker, but sourcehut is more than just a ticket tracker so I rank it
higher.

PS: I'm a little surprised that sourcehut is not receiving more love
here. Looking at sourcehut it seems to be the only forge where email
based developmen is a first-class citizen. It's also the only forge that
is licensed under the GPL and whose developers politically align with
the FSF. It seems to me that a better fit for the emacs project doesn't
exist.
