Hi,

as an occasional contributor, I'm fully supportive.

What is the intent of the "Web scraping the Trac ticket contents and placing in a geos-old-tickets repo" ? (I assume you mean a github repo). To have a "backup" of the Trac content that is easily browsable by non-Trac users ? That repository would be read-only ?

FWIW, what we did in GDAL is to *not* port existing Trac tickets, just disable creation of new Trac tickets, but authenticated users can still modify / close existing ones.

Even

GitHub has been the largest source of 3rd party code contribution via 
pull-requests for some time now.

Moving to Github has the following components:

        • Move the canonical (writeable) repository to GitHub
        • Migrate the (current, useful) contents of the Trac wiki to the new 
web framework
        • Deleting the migrated and out-of-date contents of the Trac wiki
        • Switching the Trac tickets to read-only
        • Web scraping the Trac ticket contents and placing in a 
geos-old-tickets repo
At that point:

        • New code is pushed to GitHub
        • New issues are filed at GitHub
        • New documentation is committed to the repository
This should unlock:

        • Easier path for new contributors to discover and assist with the 
project
        • Easier collaboration with downstream projects
        • Far easier story on “how to we manage the project” and “where the 
important things happen”
        • Far less dependence on individual contributors for infrastructure 
work that only they can do
