Github has some ability to integrate with external bugzilla's too. Adding notes to bugs when they're mentioned in pull requests. Possibly even closing them when pull requests are closed. It's been a while since I read about it and I haven't yet played with it myself. I need to upgrade to a newer version of bugzilla first. I've had it on my low priority todo list for a while. Does github's bug tracker have an export data feature? ie, the ability to make backups and/or move the data to another system? For the git repository itself it's trivial and inherent in git itself. I'm reluctant to house project critical data in a system that we don't have good control over. Websites come and go and we need to remain viable belong their lifespans. Last time I looked I didn't see an import feature either. We've got TONS of open bugs already and there's no way I want to split our database across multiple systems. My 2 cents, Brad
