Personally, the only things I really miss on Roundup vs GitHub issues
are usability tweaks like Markdown support in the comment editor, and
inline dropdowns for @-mentions of other users and #-mentions of other
issues, so if someone is motivated to work on issue tracking
enhancements, that seems like a more fruitful endeavour than trying to
migrate wholesale to a proprietary third party service.
Additional Roundup ENHancements:
- [ ] ENH: Issue mention 'trackbacks'
Optionally quoting the full issue title inline instead of just #123 would be great: "#123: Issue title"
- [ ] ENH: GitHub OAuth integration; to make it easy to login to Roundup with GitHub credentials
Cheers,
Nick.
P.S. That said, one tracker that I think absolutely *would* be worth
migrating to GitHub is the meta-tracker at
http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/meta. We haven't customised
that instance the way we have bugs.python.org, and consolidating it
and the source repo at http://hg.python.org/tracker/roundup/ into a
single https://github.com/python/bugs.python.org repo would better
align tracker development with development on other parts of the
infrastructure.
