Description

This is a task for the work specific to migrating MediaWiki core, extensions, skins, and the projects under mediawiki/services to GitLab for code review and CI.

Desired permission model: T336807: Define a permissions model for the /repos/mediawiki/ namespace on GitLab

User import - we can currently:

TL;DR On 2024-06-24 a decision to continue support for both Gerrit and GitLab as code forge solutions for the Wikimedia movement was announced on wikitech-l. Additionally we have decided not to revisit this decision for at least the next two years to reduce change fatigue across the teams responsible for supporting our code forges and related infrastructure.

We can make a new task if we need it later. For now, not planning to do this for everything in this namespace, so declining this.
