I agree almost completely with Andy Dougherty here.  Suppose we were to 
migrate to a Shiny New Bug Tracker (SNBT) or, better yet, a Shiny New 
Bug Tracker with 'Git' Somewhere in It's Name (SNBTWGSIIN).  Is there 
any reason to think that the attitude of our contributors to working on 
old tickets would change?  Will the people who dislike being reminded of 
their old tickets cease disliking that once we're using SNBTWGSIIN? 
Based on my experience as a cage-cleaner in both RT and Trac, I doubt it.

Where I disagree with Andy is this:  Granted we're a volunteer project, 
but I would hate to see our *core* developers working on a bug tracker 
migration when they could be working on ... core!

Thank you very much.
