[llvm-dev] IMPORTANT: LLVM Bugzilla migration

[Anton Korobeynikov via llvm-dev]

Dear All,

After some heavy lifting we were able to make a repo that could be
served as a preview.
https://github.com/llvm/test8 is open for everyone with LLVM commit
access. The example issue in question is
https://github.com/llvm/test8/issues/42401

Please note there is no way we can make it entirely read-only and any
changes might trigger notifications.
