 It looks like you've written a wish list: a list of features that we want
 GitLab to have.
 That's a good start.

 But I was asking for acceptance criteria for the data migration:
 * a list of features that GitLab must have
 * a list of data that we must migrate from Trac to GitLab

 And known sacrifices:
 * a list of features that we use in Trac, that GitLab doesn't have
 * a list of data that we won't migrate to GitLab

 Maybe we should set up a table for each feature, so we can track our
 progress:
 * how important is this feature?
 * who needs this feature?
 * are they happy with the gitlab version of this feature?
 * does trac have it?
 * does gitlab have it?
 * can we migrate the data for this feature?
 * does the data migration actually work?

 We should also look at the survey we did in 2018? so we can make sure we
 are not missing anything.
