llvm dev - Jun 2021 - Phabricator projects/subprojects (& opaque pointer work)

Hey Mehdi,

In your capacity as Phabricator admin - I'm wondering what thoughts you
have on Phabricator projects or subprojects. Currently it looks like they
can only be made by certain administrators, but I'm wondering if it'd
make
sense to allow more folks to make at least subprojects of LLVM for tracking
certain work? I'd specifically like to create a subproject for the opaque
pointer work to make it clearer all the patches going into that/easier to
track it/etc - but also wondering about the more general issue of
project/subproject creation permissions, etc.

(I see currently the Phab LLVM project has no subprojects - instead other
top level projects exist (I'm a member of the "debug-info"
subproject and
"clang-modules" subprojects, which I guess needed some admin to create
them
but then arbitrary folks could join them after that) - should they be
subprojects of LLVM instead? I guess it probably doesn't matter greatly at
the moment, but if we allowed more free access to create them, maybe we'd
want more hierarchy)

Hey David,

I think it used to be that anyone could create these, and then we got some
unfortunate events where someone would just mess everything up on Phab and
we restricted it.
I'm open to going back to the "free for all" model, but at the
same time it
seems that creating projects/subprojects isn't a frequent need either:
I've
been happy to create them on demand as well for the last year.

Cheers,
