Hi,

As a bug triager, it's very frustrating when I ask for more
information about a bug, and I get no reply. Usually, such bug is
closed as "out of date" (lack enough information to be debugged).

The requirement for a GitHub account was well known when PEP 581 was
accepted. The PEP was approved. It's now time to move on!

The creation of bugs.python.org account and bugs.python.org
authentication is often broken. It was common that OpenID
authentication was broken for 1 month or longer. Moreover,
bugs.python.org doesn't support 2FA currently, whereas GitHub does.
GitHub looks more reliable *and* more secure.

Also, please don't forget an important point: bugs.python.org is
barely maintained. See the list of open issues:
https://github.com/python/bugs.python.org/issues

For example, "Not receiving email from the bug tracker" was reported
25 days ago and got no answer :-(

It's all about trade-offs. Don't under estimate the cost of operating
our own bug tracker. System administration is not free.
