              Biopythoneers,<br>
              <br>
              After we moved our code repository to GitHub, we started
              using<br>
              their issue track which integrates with pull requests etc:<br>
              <br>
              <a href="https://github.com/biopython/biopython/issues" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/biopython/biopython/issues</a><br>
              <br>
              Prior to that we were using an OBF hosted RedMine instance<br>
              (itself migrated from an even older Bugzilla server):<br>
              <br>
              <a href="https://redmine.open-bio.org/projects/biopython" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://redmine.open-bio.org/projects/biopython</a><br>
              <br>
              Once you click though any annoying certificate warning,
              you'll<br>
              see there are still about 90 open issues and 20 feature
              requests.<br>
              <br>
              The OBF would like to shut down the RedMine server since
              no<br>
              one is actively using it any more, and it is costing us
              money<br>
              in AWS fees.<br>
              <br>
              Several years ago we talked about manually triaging these,
              i.e.<br>
              refiling and cross referencing any relevant issues on
              GitHub,<br>
              and closing irrelevant issues:<br>
              <br>

              <br>
              Do we have any volunteers to help with this?<br>
              <br>
              In the absence of any volunteers to review the old RedMine<br>
              issues, Plan B is to follow BioPerl's lead and do an
              automated<br>
              migration to a dedicated GitHub repository just for the
              old<br>
              issues:<br>
