>I am not sure that closed issues have no value.  In the last few months, probably 10% of the bugs I've closed were old bugs that resurfaced in a new way.  I don't think we want to lose that.

But they can sit in cold storage on launchpad.
People don't reopen the old bug reports do they? They should be
creating a new report.

Trac has had a decent record the last few years, don't think they've
had any security patches. Backups can be automated.


One of Github's the most annoying downsides is the lack of a "Heat" or
"Like" feature on bug reports like on Launchpad.
People would have to spam the thread to say they have the problem to
bump it in comment count.

Granted Github's interface may be quicker to sort, it definitely has
less organization options.


The tags being imported themselves is insane, we can't organize the
github bugs if we have 200+ labels/tags. That's something we
definitely need to avoid importing.
