I would think a simple vote would be a good idea. I think Florian has
summarised things very well. In particular, the earlier comments about
the 'fundamentalist' approach that appears in places (deciding to use
tool x because it was written in Python) to be a very odd constraint to
impose.
I'm not sure if I've mentioned it previously, but I really like the
ZeroMQ team's C4 model (http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:22), which forms a
set of guidelines for how ZeroMQ and related projects can operate.

Hi Florian,
your mail sums it up pretty well. Thanks for taking the time to skim
through those old messages. We definitely are interested in making
progress wherever that's possible.
But with a large project like SCons and major decisions to be made,
"bikeshedding" is always around...and can bring things to a halt quickly.
Further, we did have a tracker and most of the latest development was
done by direct pull requests...which might have let this problem
appear as one of lower priority.
I agree that it's time for a clear decision...from my angle the two
candidates are Roundup and Jira. Both seem to be able to do the job on
the technical level. So we can't choose "wrong" and just have to pick.
Leaves the question how to do that. Would any of the devs be opposed
to a simple poll, where everybody supports his favourite tool?
Independent of how the decision is made, what will happen later is
that-just like in the git vs hg battle-voices speak up from time to
time, claiming that a switch to the other alternative is what the
project needs right now. That's just how open-source works these days
I guess. :)
Best regards,
Dirk
P.S.: I wrote all of the above under the assumption that the technical
migration from Tigris to Jira is possible and preserves the full
history, including the creation dates of issues and messages
/comments. I'm stressing this point so much, because even in Roundup
it's only possible with a work-around. ;)
