It definitely looks like something that is going to happen for GNOME as 
a whole, so I guess it a matter of if not when. I'm currently more 
interested in fixing bugs, so am happy to wait for the early adopters 
to sort the wrinkles out first. :)

Despite that, if someone feels like stepping up and driving the 
migration for Geary to make it happen sooner rather than, I'd be happy 
to coordinate with that, so do let me know.

Oooh, yeah this would be really good. In particular, there's still ~130 
bugs imported from the old Yoba bug tracker that need checking, and it 
would be good to go through the rest and check the rest for duplicates, 
flag as NEEDINFO where needed, ensure that enhancements are actually 
tagged as enhancements and so on.

Federico, would you be interested in coordinating the party by any 
chance? /:)
