I don't see much value in voting on tickets. It would be useful to know how 
many people are able and not able to reproduce a problem, but that's not how 
votes are used.

With that said, you can assign thumbs-up, thumbs-down and other emojis in 
Forgejo, if you want to vote on something.

We can have custom labels for tickets and MRs.

However before FFmpeg can consider migrating from Trac to Forgejo, we have to 
consider the (anti)spam implications. I suppose there is not much spam yet 
because Gitlab is vastly more popular, but that's probably only a matter of 
time.

If code.ffmpeg.org needs to be locked down with manual approval like 
FreeDesktop and VideoLAN's Gitlab instances, then migrating the bug reporting 
there may not be such a great idea. Unless we specifically want to restrict bug 
reporting to trusted community members.

Otherwise, I don't really see any benefit to Trac. Forgejo would allow us to 
link issues and MRs, and presumably also automatically close issues. We just 
need to agree whether to migrate existing issues or not (and if we do, find 
someone to do the SQL wizardry).
