I'm proposing to move to github.
Not for technical reasons. Github is the facebook of open source. Been there, should attract more devs....
Moving the code will be simple enough. The bugs however will not be straight forward....

There was just a thread on the devuan mailinglist, "Is Void OK? Was: Keep it alive" https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/thread/20180520.110922.16fc6053.en.html :-)

Please don't. BZ is the best bug tracker. It allows me to easily search and find what I'm actually looking for instead of being fed unrelated obfuscation or empty results.

Aack!!!
TDE doesn't need adventurous playtoy devs interested in experiments and change for change's sake. Devs who are from among its userbase, good! We like it the way it is, minimal bugs, minimal disruption by arbitrary changes. Get the work done. Leave the relearning to those with plenty of time to waste.

don't do it. there are a lot of reasons. i have explained the reasons many times to many projects in many places.
to repeat some of them here:
1) github is a self-promoting self-serving NON-FREE proprietary site
2) github encourages people to self-promote in the interests of the selfish person NOT THE GROUP.
3) if you the selfish person decide "fuck this i'm going to shut down my personal account" you take the entire fucking project down
4) if you decide you cannot be bothered to maintain the project, because it is a PERSONAL ACCOUNT there is NO WAY TO RECOVER THE PROJECT.
5) if you decide to shut down your personal account a spammer may START A NEW ONE WITH THE EXACT SAME NAME.
please for fuck's sake stop promoting and using github.
please set up your own gitolite3 server, add multiple sysadmins with multiple users, or use savannah, sourceforge, or set up a fusionforge server *ANYTHING* other than github.
