It's time to switch our to something which is maintained and can be extended to
our wishes. Flyspray isn't actively maintained, has had several security issues

Being the person responsible for writing our flyspray ansible's role and having 
spent an
awful amount of time writing nginx redirects to overcome the fact that flyspray 
can't handle
decent URL's, I might be a little biased against it.


It seems to be time to move on, and Bugzilla is one of the more active and
maintained bugtrackers out there. Used by several big projects such as
Gnome, LLVM and Mozilla. One of the benefits of moving would be the
possibility of default assignees per 'component'.


I agree with the move to bugzilla. I advocated in the past for us to use 
something like gitlab, but
we are using github and I think we should embrace it and make it "official". 
But I think neither
gitlab nor github's issue trackers are that great. At least not for some of the 
things we do. We
can use them just fine for our projects, though.

# Migration

There are several options for migrating the bug history to Bugzilla and a few 
options are under
debate. (input welcome)

* No migration at all
* Migrate open bugs
* Migrate open bugs and auto-closing them
* Migrate all bugs
* Migrate all bugs and auto-closing them

In either case, I believe it would be nice to "archive" the current bugtracker 
and make it read
only.

I'm for starting clean and making the current flyspray read-only.


# User migration

User migration should be possible as well, except migrating the password, a 
mass password reset
would be wise. Since I'm not sure what kind of old hashing method / salt 
flyspray uses.

Agreed.
