The only thing missing is really only the server configuration ---
new.scipy.org could in principle do that, but its mail system seems to
be configured so that it cannot send mail to the MLs. So, someone with
roots on the machine needs to step up.

Just a quick lesson from matplotlib's migration of sourceforge bugs to github issues. Darren Dale did an excellent job with only a few hitches. The key one is that *every* issue migrated spawns a new email. This got old very fast. Second, because Darren did the migration, he became author for every single issue. He then got every single status change of every issue that we triaged the following few weeks.

 We don't hear much from Darren these days... I suspect the men in the white coats took him away...

Uh oh. We are short on developers as is... Which brings up a question, do people need a github account to open an issue?
