[Pki-devel] Dogtag PKI is migrating issue tracker from Pagure to GitHub

[Dinesh Prasanth Moluguwan Krishnamoorthy]

Dear users, developers and maintainers of PKI,

We, the Dogtag PKI team, have decided to use GitHub issues as our primary
issue tracker. As a part of the effort to keep things unified, we will be
migrating all the issues (open and closed) from Pagure Issues
<https://pagure.io/dogtagpki/issues> to GitHub Issues
<https://github.com/dogtagpki/pki/issues>.

We see several advantages by this migration:

   1.

   Reported issues and code stay closer
   2.

   Better ways to refer/track issues within PRs and commits
   3.

   Better audience outreach


When?

Migration starts on Friday, Oct 2 (~5PM EST) and we anticipate it to end by
Oct 4.

Process:

We are planning to do the migration in 4 stages.

*Stage 1 (~5 hours):*

Copy all issues from Pagure to GitHub. We have identified and tried to map
the users from Pagure to GitHub. If your nickname is listed in [1], you’ll
be receiving github notifications and/or emails. Unfortunately, there is no
way to keep it down.

*Stage 2 (~2 hours):*

This is a check stage where we test if every Pagure issue has been copied
to GitHub correctly. There will be no notifications generated

*Stage 3 (~2 hours):*

Add comments to ALL pagure issues and close ALL OPEN pagure issues as
Migrated. The comment will include a link to the corresponding GH issue. We
have placed a request [2] to turn off notifications during this stage.

*Stage 4 (~1 hours):*

Update associated bugzilla with link to new GitHub Issues. The “Devel
Whiteboard” will be updated in the format `PKI <GH issue number>` and an
external tracker to the GH issue will be added. There will be no
notifications generated in this stage.


Migration Tool:

The tool is available in GH: https://github.com/SilleBille/pagure2github/
