Is "elaborate" a good thing in our case? For example, searching closed bugs for arbitrary text is more difficult in BZ 
than it is in GitLab. As far as custom fields go, it looks like GitLab lets you set a template for issues[1], which 
should cover the information we currently require for new Bugzilla bugs. Documenting our different workflows is a great 
idea, and should be added to the Bugzilla and Gerrit gitlab-migration wiki pages.

Fixed. Thanks!

This brings up something I've held off asking until now. What flavor of GitLab should we use? It looks like our options 
are:

- gitlab.com Free[2]
- gitlab.com Ultimate[2]
- Self-managed Free[3]
- Self-managed Gold[3]

GitLab offers Ultimate and Gold licenses for FOSS projects[4] at no charge, but I'm confused about what KitWare, KDE, 
and GNOME are using since they aren't in the OSS project list file[5].
