Hi,
The issue tracker was discussed almost 1.5h at the board meeting - and
it wasn't a clear and unanimous decision. Some board members (including
me) also changed their minds during the discussion. Apparently not all
core devs were happy with the quite limited filtering and structuring
options that github offers. The issue tracker is certainly quite
limited, compared to other issue tracker offerings. Offering only labels
is quite limited. In addition, migrating all the existing tickets from
Redmine to Github turned out to be non-trivial - and we don't want to
loose the old issues.
Finally, it is probably good that we are in control of the issues and
that it runs on free software. The board knows that not all people are
happy with this decision but one cannot make everyone happy ... we hope
that the "unhappy" people can still live with the renewed (and faster)
Redmine.
The issues are migrated to the newest Redmine version and on a dedicated
machine rented by QGIS.ORG to ensure good performance. This should make
dealing with issues much more pleasant and more performant.
Big thanks to Jürgen, Richard and Pirmin for dealing with the Redmine
migration.

I was under the impression that we were leaning towards to migrating
to GH issues tracker.
What was the main reason behind choosing Redmine again? technical
issues? lack of time to solve them? Will the migration to a new
Redmine version be effortless?
Me too. I'm still convinced that this is a _very_ sub optimal solution for
everybody.
Pity we really want to stick with something that forces us continuing having
two different, non integrated tools where one could have done it in a great way.
Cheers Marco
