Hi everybody! More than six months ago, Wikimedia migrated its bug report management from Bugzilla to Phabricator. At the same time, Bugzilla was turned read-only (but still allowed users to log in to access and manually migrate votes or saved searches) and moved to the address old-bugzilla.wikimedia.org.
Before that migration, users were asked to join Phabricator and were made aware of required steps and limitations [1]. This was done via a banner on top of Bugzilla, emails on wikitech-l@, announcements on en.wp Village Pump, and two emails to all Bugzilla users who had logged in since October 2013 [2]. Now after everybody had more than six months to switch to Phabricator, old-bugzilla.wikimedia.org is planned to get switched off on June 22nd [3] (as keeping Bugzilla running requires maintenance like applying security updates). Thanks to John and Daniel, a static HTML version of old-bugzilla exists at https://static-bugzilla.wikimedia.org [4]. It allows to still access those historical Bugzilla reports and the related history/activity. Please note that you can still claim the activity of your Bugzilla account imported into Phabricator [5] after switching off old-bugzilla, as this functionality does not rely on old-bugzilla being available. I'd like to thank John & Daniel for all their work creating static-bz!
