Pitivi moves from Bugzilla to Phabricator

Using Bugzilla to manage Pitivi was a bit painful and we were looking for a replacement. Many projects seemed to switch to Phabricator lately, which looked like a very good platform for managing projects. We experimented migrating Bugzilla bugs to Phabricator, and we are pretty content with the result. The UI is nicer, we have a better search function, and the Git integration (with the code review component works great.

We decided to make the switch official, so we updated the documentation on the wiki and website to link to Phabricator, closed the Pitivi Bugzilla “product” and closed the remaining bugs in Bugzilla with a custom made script. The script also linked each bug to the proper task in Phabricator.

For those new to Phabricator, remember that instead of creating a “bug” you create a “task”.
