From Debian News (https://www.debian.org/News/weekly/): yes and it is going to be named Salsa (https://wiki.debian.org/Salsa).

The Debian project has been investigating several alternatives to Alioth's version control functionality. I have not 100% kept up on the discussion, but I think gitlab is either selected for sure or is a leading candidate. https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/GitNext
Even if they adopt gitlab for version control and pull requests, it's a very misleading headline that the "debian community" will be migrated to gitlab.

That's exactly what the link you pasted says - Debian is closing Alioth and migrate to using gitlab.
No automatic migration is planned - you need to migrate the repos you are responsible for yourself.
I'm not exactly real clear on "... and open source projects" either. Debian used to use Alioth [0] pretty extensively. Maybe they're getting rid of that and moving everything that was on there to GitLab.
I get that this is a press release but it could be a bit more informative, IMO.
