Hi all,

I don't know if you guys were aware of this, and if there's anything
that can be done, but I just realized that all the bugs tagged SF:

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues?labels=SF&sort=created&direction=desc&state=open&page=1

have useless links to their SF original pages, b/c SF has completely
closed access to the old tracker, e.g.:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3044267&group_id=80706&atid=560723

I don't know if in the migration, the github issue has all the
information that was in the old bug.  In ipython when we migrated from
launchpad we kept links to the old issues as well:

https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/13 ==>
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ipython/+bug/508971

but fortunately launchpad continues to show the original bug in full.
This is useful for a number of reasons.  Launchpad is nice enough to
let you disable the bug tracker for new bug submissions while leaving
all existing bug pages still available.  This is much more sensible
than what SF seems to be doing.

I don't know there's much we can do, since this is really a
SourceForge issue.  But I wanted to mention it at least; if there's
important information buried in there, it might be possible to reopen
the SF tracker temporarily, scrape the bug pages for everything and
close it again.  I just don't know if the orignal bug transfer process
managed to move everything or not...

Cheers,

f
