In ports/ the primary entrypoint for anything is Bugzilla. exp-runs
requires Bugzilla, bug auto-assignment requires Bugzilla, "maintainer
timeout" requires Bugzilla (I had at least one committer complain).
In teams Bugzilla forwards activity to maillists which promotes
participation by non-committers.

Phabricator is better than Bugzilla but worse than Git* pull requests:
- cannot checkout the tree if patches fail to apply (common in ports/)
- cannot import patches without arcanist (while preserving commit author/date)
- cannot view combined diff (to see a big picture)
- cannot edit comments to fix mistakes, rephrase, etc.

I admit my workflow is inefficient but Phabricator is certainly not a solution.
