What gave you the impression we were keen on moving shop? Github does 
everything we need it to do (unlike launchpad). My guess is that you 
chose gitlab over github because it can be installed on your own servers 
so is more future proof. (Nobody really explained why gitlab was chosen 
so i could be wrong.)

Also see https://gitlab.com/kicad/kicad_migration/issues/20

TlDr: Move will happen after the v6 file format is useable enough for us 
to close down the symbol side for contributions and convert. This will 
hide the negative effects of moving shop at least for half the open pull 
requests. Unless somebody gets a full syncroniszation of pull request going.


Plus lack of manpower. If somebody other than be gets our travis scripts 
to run then that would already be a massive help. (The move will still 
happen after the v6 format change unless we get a massive boost in 
manpower that allows us to handle two platforms during the transition.)
