<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>

<br>
Who can help out?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>

also secretary for the Open Bioinformatics Foundation board)<br>
