Wanting your thoughts on this. So, as I recall, the high level goal so long ago for bugspad was something like replacing bugzilla for packages? I am not sure thats ever likely to happen at this point. There's still a pretty strong desire to be able to copy Fedora issues over to RHEL issues easily and everyone is pretty used to bugzilla, so it would take something pretty compelling to make people want to move. Additionally, Bugzilla 5.0 is going to be out soon with a ton of new features, etc. IMHO, I would say it might be better to help work on improving pagure's issues as we are already using that and improvements are wanted. :) Just my 2cents. kevin
