Re: [Ganglia-developers] Trac Wiki, Bugzilla and GitHub

[Brad N. <BNI...@ne...>]

I'm not sure that just abandoning the issues in Bugzilla is a good idea without at least trying to follow up with the person who submitted the issue.  Some of the issues may still be valid and we certainly don't want to abandon those.  How much effort would it be to try to either validate or follow up on the open issues?  

OTOH, I guess leaving bugzilla as read-only means that the issues will still be there and not necessarily be lost.  We could close out each ticket in bugzilla with a note to the submitter that says that if the bug is still an issue then resubmit the bug to GitHub Issues.  I guess what I am saying is that I don't have a strong opinion either way.
