Hi all

ATM the bug reporting guidlines point to trac
and https://trac.ffmpeg.org/newticket redirects to forgejo

So if a user found a bug, now what does she do?
1. First she (maybe) looks at the bug reporting guidlines (which point to trac)
2. and she registers on trac
3. she maybe searches for existing tickets on trac, and maybe adds her info there
4. she tries to open a new ticket on trac and gets redirected to forgejo
5a. she refuses to register on a 2nd tracker and leaves
5b. she registers on forgejo
6. she searches for an existing report on forgejo and maybe adds her bug info there
7. she opens a new ticket on forgejo

lets summarize, what is wrong here
0. I think many people are/where unaware of the newticket redirect (I was unaware until very recently)
1. I think some of the consequences of this regirect where missed
2. the bug tracker was half switched to forgejo
3. users have to register on 2 trackers (they may need to add comments on either)
4. users have to search bugs on 2 trackers (both if they want to open a new one and also
    if they are just looking for one)
5. forgejo lacks some nice features like searching per number of votes

So what are we going to do now ?
T. Undo the half move and stay with trac, move or loose 61+32 tickets from forgejo to trac
F. Fully move from trac to forgejo, move 3176+8501 tickets from trac to forgejo
D. have some tickets in trac and some in forgejo, require users to register and search both
?. something else ?


Ideas, Comments ?

thx
