This changes to point people to GitLab for issue tracking. Note that Bugzilla still has plenty of bugs present against libvirt. Triaging these to determine what is still valid will be a separate exercise. Bugzilla will be locked to prevent creation of new issues meanwhile. Reviewed-by: Ján Tomko Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
