Moving SF.net tracker items to Launchpad can be done automatically by
requesting an import. That isn't a problem.
However, we do need a consensus that Launchpad represents a genuine
improvement on SF.net for a majority of gEDA developers and users (I know that
there are some developers who are keen on it). There are some things that
would make moving to Launchpad a really compelling option:
- A hook for git.gpleda.org that could update a Launchpad ticket referenced
in a commit message.
- Someone willing to research how best to arrange things in terms of
Launchpad groups (we probably don't want everybody who's able to respond to
bugs to have full administrative rights over the gEDA Launchpad project page,
for instance).
- A volunteer to manage the migration process (e.g. writing patches for in-
tree documentation and updating the wiki).
