All,
The Tomcat project has been using Bugzilla to track issues for more than
20 years.
Recently there has been a significant increase in abusive traffic
targetting the ASF's Bugzilla instances - mostly AI scraping.
To protect the ASF Bugzilla instances and ensure that they remain usable
for the community, the ASF has - with regret - configured all ASF
Bugzilla instances to require authentication in order to access them.
If you need to search bugs, view a bug report, report a bug or otherwise
interact with Bugzilla, you will need to login in first. If you don't
have an ASF Bugzilla account, the link to create one is on the front page.
:(
While requiring authentication was a quick short term solution, some
longer term solutions were discussed which includes migrating away from
BugZilla. If we did so, GitHub issues is the obvious destination.
When we last discussed moving to GitHub issues in 2022 [1] the consensus
was not to. Has that view changed since then?
I have no strong preference for either. My concerns are more around if
we migrated, what would we migrate and how would we do it. We have a
*lot* of historical data. We have a couple of smaller projects we can
use to test any migration if we decide to go that way.
