[Translate-devel] Bugzilla is migrating and we need your assistance

[Dwayne B. <dw...@tr...>]

Hi,

*tl;dr* Can you post a 'Yes' comment to the following gist
https://gist.github.com/izuzak/bbaafadaf71c56f4b5c3 to help us migrate your
bugs and comments to github issues.

After some consideration we've decided to migrate our current bugzilla at
bugs.locamotion.org to Github issues.  Being an open source project this
isn't something we've taken lightly.  Bugzilla has served us well over a
number of years. Our reasons can best be summarised as:

   1. One less server to maintain, so we can focus our efforts on Pootle,
   Virtaal and all our other tools.  Not getting caught out with bugzilla
   outages and not having to do server upgrades are worth a lot to the core
   developers.
   2. With issues tightly integrated into github it makes it easier to
   expose bug reports for fixing and action.  The fixing still requires time
   of course, no magic there I'm afraid.  But we've found that our bugzilla
   bugs have been to easy to ignore when hidden away on a separate system.

In order to make the migration seamless and to retain the communication
with those who've reported and commented on bugs we'd like to be able to
associate your bugzilla user with your github account.

For our Bugzilla import Github will allow us to create these account
associations.  But they will only allow us to associate this information
with those users who opt-in.  In order to approve this association simply
add a 'Yes' comment to https://gist.github.com/izuzak/bbaafadaf71c56f4b5c3

Since we'd really like you to know when your bugs are fixed or when someone
adds a comment to a bug that you have shown interest in, our hope is that
all of you will opt-in.

Thanks in advance for taking the time.
