Do we have a wiki page setup for discussing/brainstorming bug tracker
ideas?  Maybe that'd be a good starting point?

Now we have:

Wow, nice!

It reads a bit biased against Launchpad (which in many cases is justified but in others not really a platform issue but something we also need to figure out for whatever new service we might choose) but certainly catches the core points perfectly.

I'm not sure where discussion is meant to happen going forward (discussion on Wiki talk pages seems to be non-existing in the Inkscape Wiki), but two items I think I settled with myself in the meantime are:

Filing Inkscape bugs at https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/issues and creating a (curated) feature tracker as a separate project (e.g. https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-features/issues) sounds like a good option.
Having a separate project for features could allow to make use of GitLab's wiki features / simple markdown files / snippets / the repository itself to develop and visualize the ideas until they are in a ready state for developers to work on (which should be indicated by a tag)
Importing bugs from Launchpad in an automated way does not make sense. One of the core points we're trying to solve is that the old tracker is flooded with unclear/incomplete/untriaged bugs - automatically migrating them to the new platform will make it even worse (by disconnecting the original authors) and achieve nothing but moving all platform issues we have with Launchpad, too.
If we want to import old bugs it needs to be done manually (e.g. have the "Bug Triager" team from the sketch work on evaluating the old bugs starting at the high importance bugs working their way down - a highly non-trivial and exhausting task).
A possibility to gather help (make the "crowdsource triaging part" work) and to determine which bugs are still worth looking at might be to post automated messages at all bugs explaining the tracker is being closed down and all issues which still persist in the current Inkscape Version (give download links) should be re-evaluated (explain how to test) and submitted to the new "friendly feedback hub" for triaging (include guidelines on how to "write a good bug report").
