GitLab Migration Makes Contributing Easier

In June, the entire Inkscape code base and its many branches were migrated to a git repository hosted by GitLab. This was a massive undertaking requiring months of preparation.

GitLab was selected as the host of this repository due to its own demonstrated commitment to open source. This change is an important part of making Inkscape more accessible to more developers interested in contributing fixes and adding features.
