Hello Hubert, [...] 2- what are the migration plans for bugzilla: bugzilla URL, bug numbers and the actual content In the wiki we outline what our plans are. However this is a moving target based on the input we receive here. We have to find a balance between how much reasonable effort would one way to migrate or the other vs the benefits. Also, different projects might have different needs for migration. [...]
From the migration plan in the wiki:
"Our contention is that copying/moving every existing GNOME issue to
a new issue tracker is impractical and, in many situations,
undesirable."
May you expand in which many situations is undesirable?
I can foresee unmaintained projects, but I clearly am missing more
cases.
For (semi-)maintained projects bugzilla is a database of "wisdom",
which is practical to find duplicated reports, for example, repetitive
bugs, and more importantly, the rationale behind WONTFIX issues because
of design decisions.
Does the plan consider a tool like bugzilla2gitlab, but removing the
part that copy the accounts?
