Look folks,
the vote (and the hopefully following move) has nothing to do with the
quality or non-quality of Scarab (I have my personal opinion but
nevertheless...) but with the fact that @ ASF, noone really
administrates Scarab; the Infra people don't do anything with it and
e.g. Scarab currently is down (according to Infra it is down for quite
some time) and simply noone seems to notice or to care.
And they want to reduce the number of bug trackers (currently we have
four: gnats, bugzilla, scarab, jira).
JIRA on the other hand _is_ maintained, administrated and
monitored. These are good enough reasons for me.
I'd be very happy if the Scarab people (there seem to be a few here
though very quiet) could help us exporting the existing bug reports
out of Scarab and into JIRA. According to INFRA, JIRA can read XML
formatted reports and bugzilla dumps, so it should be possible to
write the reports out of Scarab in XML, do some XSLT on it and
re-import into JIRA.

Henning
