Gerrit data can be useful to write a whole new class of tools :)
This may not be all that relevant given the likelihood of switching to phabricator in the medium term.
In that case we can re-purpose the bug to make Phabricator's database available on labs after the switch happens.
We are also not switching Gerrit to Phabricator yet - just Bugzilla and RT.
No idea what "Phabricator" database this is about. Everything? Plus no usecase described here at all. Plus I don't see how to sanitize that data (legal).
I think the original use case (If I recall correctly from IRC) was to get gerrit /and bugzilla/ databases available from labs. I don't think there's a problem in principle, though it will require a great deal of consideration. (Sanitation in particular - it's not an insurmountable problem since we do exactly that for the project databases). I mostly intended to keep this bug open as a task tracker for the longer term.

Usecase is to create tools like [[mw:Gerrit/Reports]] that don't need to rely on hacks like bug 52329.
