The organisation is at: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio Existing open bugs have been migrated, and new issues should be filed against the relevant project (for example https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/issues) We are also transitioning from patches sent to the mailing list to MRs (merge requests). The simple description of the workflow is that you create a fork using the GitLab UI, create a branch, push your changes, and then get back to the web UI which will let you create a merge request from your fork/branch. (more details at https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/gitlab-basics/add-merge-request.html) That's it. Please chime in if you have questions/comments. Cheers, Arun p.s.: My heartfelt thanks to Daniel Stone and the freedesktop.org admin team for the super quick migration.
