[llvm-dev] [cfe-dev] Bugzilla migration is stopped again

[MyDeveloper Day via llvm-dev]

How many issues are we talking about with circular dependencies? Small
enough for us to fix by hand on a need to basis? At present the lack of bug
tracker for 10 days is starting to be more painful than  the 100%
correctness of the data. My experience of multiple migrations to JIRA
systems from various legacy bug trackers that this is an iterative
processes at some point you say “That’s good enough” and you conclude that
historical issues aren’t looked at enough to worry about it, as long as
users can get back to the legacy system they can cross reference if
necessary

Once you open this up, most issues we tackle will be  new issues created in
GitHub.

Time to move forward, ideally we should have done these kinds of migrations
during the planning phase, but we didn’t and that’s a lesson learnt, but
let’s finish up the migration as is. Move on in my view it looks good
enough to use and you’ve done a good job but let’s not drag this out for 1%
of bugs we might not look at much!

My 2p worth
