Official bug tracker?

Hi all.

I think it is time to decide on a new official bug tracker for the 
Archetypes project itself.

Currently we have issues in various places:

AT trac: https://trac.plone.org/archetypes/ (disabled)
Poi: http://plone.org/products/archetypes/issues (2 issues)
sf.net tracker: 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=75272&atid=543430 (~150 issues)
Plone trac, category infrastructure/content types 
https://trac.plone.org/plone/ (some issues)

As I assume nobody likes the sf.net tracker, I think we have three 
options here:

1. Use POI.
2. Use Plone's trac.
3. Use the seperate trac instance.

Personally I love trac and I would consider AT big enough to have its 
own trac instance. Mixing all pure AT related issues into the Plone trac 
instance isn't optimal as AT has a different version numbering and might 
have a distinct release schedule.

While I think POI is great for small products which have a dedicated 
maintainer who approves issues, I think this model doesn't suite AT well.

One advantage of using trac is the availability of an import script for 
sourceforge.net trackers. If we agree on using trac I would volunteer to 
do this import (with some help of wiggy ;) and clean up the existing issues.

What do you all think?

Hanno
