Yeah, but that bug tracker sucks big time.
Even SF is better.
I am not too familiar with gitlab, but its tracker appears to be more
modern.

Does savannah or SF support repo synchronization?
(push to either and the other one automatically gets the patch)
Note also that SF might recover soon...

At any rate, do you also want to move the bug tracker? mailing list?

CVS->hg is, I think, a bigger hassle than hg->git.

Thanks.
