Nonetheless, I have looked at some other bug trackers. In particular, I looked at Mantis (the tracker that Scribus uses), and even set it up on freedesktop.org for the Open Clip Art Library to play with. It seems to be a better bug database than either, but it'd probably take a lot of work to switch over to something like that (more work than I'm able to put in, anyway.) But if someone wanted to look into converting us to a different system, Mantis looks ok to me.
Mantis is really very good. Bryce, I can probably host a Mantis site for you guys if you like on the Scribus server. Transfer of existing issues wont be easy though. NFI there.
Yeah, transfer of issues is the main hobgoblin here. Someone wrote a script to export the bugs from SF, which I stuck in CVS in the inkscape_project module:
inkscape_project/stat_collector/download_tracker_items
However it would need a lot of hacking to make it able to extract the items.
I recall SourceForge also provides a backup thingee for downloading your SourceForge project data, but I've never messed with it.
