PEP 581 proposes the migration of bug tracking to GitHub issues. I have done a project to collect all issues in https://bugs.python.org. I have parsed the HTML data and migrated the issues to GitLab along with labels for issues and comments which is pretty much similar to GitHub issues. I have just added a comment from my account preceded by the Author name. I have migrated around 140 issues out of the 30000 issues for a demonstration. I can see some immediate benefits as follows which also apply to GitHub : * GitHub and GitLab support markdown thus code snippets can have highlighting. * Labels can be filtered from the UI and are helpful for triaging. * GitLab allows subscription for a label so that developers can subscribe for new issues in a label. * There are categories like milestones and priority that can help in release management. * They provide API and thus we can build integrations around issues. Some notes : I haven't parsed code in comments to enable syntax highlighting since it's hard to parse. Repo and feedback welcome : https://gitlab.com/tirkarthi/python-bugs/issues Thanks
