So this died a bit. If libosinfo moves to freedesktop.org, it should use their
bug tracker. But Dan wasn't interested in moving there. I don't really have a
preference.

The alternative bits discussed (moving to libvirt.org, etc) are all
independent of moving the bug tracker. And there was general agreement with
moving away from trac.

So unless anyone says otherwise by Saturday, I'll initiate the above steps to
create the bugzilla.redhat.com tracker and turn off the trac instance. I'll use:

default assignee: zali at redhat.com
cc list: berrange at redhat.com, cfergeau at redhat.com

Anyone else? And do we want to add the mailing list to CC ?
