Note that such a change is fairly expensive - our sources and docs are littered with bug tracker and mailing list URLs. When they upgraded the bugtracker, it was a matter of a relatively easy - but time consuming - editing to fix that. When gmane http access went down, I had to jump though some ugly hoops to fix the links (see clisp/emacs/misc.el) I shudder at the thought of what lays ahead ;-) >> Yeah, but that bug tracker sucks big time. >> Even SF is better. > > The rich text functionality in savannah's tracker is a bit poor, yes. On > the other hand, I like the categorization / sorting interface. gitlab/github uses tags, which is more flexible, I think. Note that savannah is based on an early version of sourceforge (warts and all). During the SF bugtracker upgrade they renamed "category" to "milestone" instead of tag, with pretty funny results. >> I am not too familiar with gitlab, but its tracker appears to be more >> modern. > > Surely everything Gitlab has is modern.

I am sure that in 10 years we will have to switch no matter what we chose now (https://thetyee.ca/Views/2004/03/24/Planning_Six_Centuries_Ahead/).
