I think it's a mistake for them to leave phabricator. This product is quite easy to get ci/cd going on. There are apis to submit back to tickets. it's highly customizable. Also the damn system never breaks; even when you think it broke. Git pull and run the migration tool. boom. Its a PHP system after all. Probably one of the most well written and methodical codebases out there. Also the community fixes bugs regularly, especially if they're simple and easy to replicate.

All of which you get with Gitlab plus a first class CI/CD system out of the box and a more popular (read familiar) interface which reduces the friction for new developers to get started with KDE.
