GitLab Template Migration

[sethhillbrand]

Hi Templateers-

As part of the Great KiCad GitLab migration of 2019, I am testing the movement of open issues and PRs from GitHub to GitLab.

Here's what we know so far:

• Open Pull Requests will transfer to GitLab without moving the source of the PR. That means pull requests will become GitLab Merge Requests that are referenced to the user's GitHub repository
• Open Issues will transfer to GitLab issues
• Closed/Resolved PRs and Issues will also transfer

In order to facilitate the transfer, it will be helpful if you can do two things:

• Open a GitLab account (these can use your GitHub OAuth)
• Set your GitHub email to public
• Please let me know who the responsible parties are for the templates repository

The second point is critical because the migration script will only link users whose e-mail addresses match. If the script can't see your GitHub e-mail address, the issue will be tied to the KiCad-Bot that performs the migration.

It will greatly assist my testing for bugs if you could do the two steps above as soon as possible.

Thank you- Seth
