GitLab and GitHub are two completely different services. They offer
different features in different ways through different user
interfaces, and have both been evolving pretty quickly. Saying
emphatically!!! that GitLab's search results are useless, based on
vague recollections of having used a _different service_ which was so
long ago you can't even remember, isn't really a great contribution to
a discussion.

Yes. This thread is to discuss migrating to GitLab at some point in
the future. Since it has not happened yet, there is no entrypoint to
speak of.

I can't solve your problems with web browsers, bottlenecks and people
using JavaScript, but again, both Bugzilla and GitLab are web-based
tools, and GitLab has a complete API with CLI-based tools you can use
instead of a browser.

Cheers,
