Actually, I have been looking quite seriously at the possibility of
ditching SF trackers and moving all the history of bugs to Launchpad.

I can do a fairly lossless export, and I'm working on fixing some issues
with the Launchpad bug import code to be able to translate any bug
numbers embedded in the bug comments.

Nothing is decided yet.. beyond verifying that it is technically
feasible, I want to know that all the current developers buy in (or at
least consent) to a move.

Launchpad being properly open source now removes one potentially strong
argument against its adoption, but no doubt there will be people who
dislike it for other reasons, or trust SourceForge more than Canonical.

I'd welcome feedback from people who actively encounter and report bugs
(especially in favour of the move ;)).

I'd also welcome feedback from anyone who works with bug reports, test
patches, merge code etc... (Doesn't have to be with gEDA / PCB, anything
regarding Launchpad / SourceForge).
