Hi Tom--

Yes.  I think we should use the gitlab issues tracker, not the IETF
tools, for the sake of simplicity.  I'll see what i can do about
adjusting the IETF tools issue tracker to indicate that the gitlab
issues tracker is the place to use.

As you say, actual discussion should take place on this list.

agreed.  If folks want to document specific outstanding changes please
feel free to open them as gitlab issues.  If the chairs judge there is
no consensus for a specific outstanding change after discussion, we
might go ahead and close the corresponding issue.
