I have a few questions regarding the move.

I understand that some of these could be work in progress, but now that 
I don't know if yes or no, I better mention everything.

Simple questions:
1) Is it correct that we should now delete `.git/hooks/commit-msg` that 
was generating Gerrit IDs before?
2) How do I use my committer powers (if I happen to want to use them) in 
the new repo?

Bigger question:
I understand that we now rely on GitHub PRs instead of Gerrits. I would 
love to see the usual practice of PRs consisting of branches of properly 
chunked commits. I understand that previously patches were rather done 
in "single commit" style mostly due to Gerrit limitations. Now that 
GitHub PRs show entire pull request as a single thing that shows all 
associated commits, there is seemingly no roadblock to start making 
chunked commits. What do you think?

Things that still seem to need adjustment:
1) Auto-adding GitHub pull requests to 'See also' and comment like 'PR 
was created' in Bugzilla
2) Old repo URLs still mentioned here
   https://www.eclipse.org/swt/git.php

Feature requests
1) It would be nice to continue to auto-detect stuff like "Bug 123456" 
as links to Bugzilla. Not sure if that's easily possible on Github.
