Hi Alex,

Are you looking for volunteers to set up test instances of the various 
options? (Or has the final decision been made?) I have some experience 
running Phabricator for a medium-sized company, and I'd also be happy to 
help with a test instance of GitLab or pagure.

I'm also interested in doing dev work needed to make GitLab usable for 
Debian's needs; I'm somewhat partial to it if we can make it work, but I 
think the other options are compelling too.

I won't be able to make the sprint in Germany unfortunately but I'll plan 
on being around on IRC when it's happening.
