GitLab looks great. Unfortunately the last feature does not count.
What counts is getting things done.
Here it is hard to rule GitHub. Nearly every developer has a GitHub
account, and it is just click to clone Mixxx and starting to contribute.
If we ever leave GitHub, we will suffer the same issue, other non GitHub
hosted Apps have: maintaining an unofficial GitHub clone.
For Launchpad bug, suffers the same. Registering a second account is
anoying, and stops user from filing bugs.
On the other Hand Launchpad has our history, and no other tool offers the
same rich bug states, that we have adopted in our process.
Unlike moving distributed git repros around, bug tracking is a single
server solution were we will loose data migrating to other services.
We have hundreds cross linkes, between GitHub, Forum, Wiki, and Launchpad.
Losing this had to be well considered compared to some missing convenient
features.
For Bug, being on GitHub is IMHO not that important, because only the
minority of users have an GitHub account.
Filing Bug inside Mixxx would be the most convenient solution.
Launchpad offers to communicate via email. Maybe there is a solution to
send Emails from Mixxx to Launchpad?
Or Launchpad questions? Or to the forums ...
What do you think?
