People should not submit bug reports randomly to 2 trackers, thats a problem.
It would make searching for issues 2x as hard.

If we discuss and decide to change the bug tracker (which we have not discussed,
less decided) -> than we should import all the issues from trac into the new tracker first.

In fact i suggest we make the forgejo issue tracker forward people to trac currently

The announcment should probably mention that performance, as in number of
submissions / percentage of applied / not reviewed patches will be
monitored compared to the mailing list.

(and obviously someone has to do that, i do think such basic performance
 monitoring is important after/ during such a change)

later then (in a month or whatever) we should make an announcment with
the performance numbers

[And if we want to have strong statistics, then it is neccessary
 to pre-announce _exactly_ when and what will be meassured how.

just thought this would be a interresting subject for a statistics paper,
if someone (maybe outside the ffmpeg team) wants to do it ...

thx
