I'm making reasonable progress in that direction and you can read the 
fun on https://bugs.jython.org/issue2892 .

GitHub lets us make repositories private now. Is that a good answer?

Definitely, when there is a Jython 3 to have bugs, we only want them in 
one place.

CPython are keeping bugs.python.org around, but they've been maintaining 
it. It is still the basis of the PSF CLA process that covers us. (I'm 
quite keen to keep that.) Our bugs.jython.org is looking increasingly 
fragile, so I agree we should discourage reports there, but I think we'd 
accept them, and there are quite a few outstanding issues we probably 
need until Jython 2.7 is no longer maintained.
