I remember the change from svn to gerrit was very hard  and I was nearby giving up. And we lost other people like Binaris. The main problem for me was git/gerrit until I found a proper way to get it running (and wrote a manual for it). Thanks to Merlijn who gave me the crucial hint there.

For the new place I fear the main problems would be the CI setup and I think we would need support for it.

I think that is a great idea. If Xqt could do that, it would be awesome.

As an update, it seems like we're going backwards (a good thing) and
going to have some consultation process/working group.

At [1] I've suggested that someone from the Pywikibot community be
included given how long it took us to do the SVN -> Git migration and
how we haven't really had our needs met using Wikimedia CI (someone
who's more active should correct me if I'm wrong/out of date on that).
