It seems relevant to mention that GNOME is thinking about switching to
Gitlab. They wrong a small comparison between Phabricator and Gitlab here:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/DevelopmentInfrastructure/
This may provide food for thought.
Having installing both gitlab and phabricator on my server, I can say that
both are pretty easy to install.
In both cases, I can volunteer to do the admin work, and I can give access
to the server to one or two people to help me, this way we don't end up in
the current situation.
If that helps, I cloned rockbox in both my gitlab and phabricator
instances, so that you can have a feel of what it looks like:
GitLab: https://gitlab.pouly.fr/pamaury/rockbox-clone
I'll send the link to phabricator later, because it is still importing the
repostory.
NOTE: importing repositories with Phabricator is super slow (it's been
importing for severall hours now).
