Yes, we really need to show the community more what we're doing. Maybe
it makes it easier to get contributions from others too, that would be a
nice side-effect.

I think GitHub projects are too customizable in order to have a bot do
automation. I agree that it would be nice, but I assume that a little
bit of project management will stay needed. However, if you close a
GitHub Issue, it will be visible in the project/lane/card and you can
drag-and-drop it in a different lane.

Please go ahead! The easiest to start is:
1. create the project
2. create three lanes ("To Do", "In Progress" and "Done")
3. drag-and-drop the GitHub Issues as cards in the lanes

You are free to structure the project board with different lanes if you
think that is more practical. Most of us are new to the GitHub Projects
interface and we'll need to experiment a little how to use it in the
most practical way.

You are already an admin of the gluster-block repository. That should
allow you to create a project there. I've added you as a contributor to
the "integration" repository, that enables you to update the projects
and issues, and also update the README.md with a summary about
gluster-block.
