Thanks Max,
We coincidentally had an infrastructure meeting today to talk about this kind of problem. But it looks like you have it solved.
Are there any further actions needed?
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Hi all,
every once in a while, people still report bugs on the old bug tracker on launchpad.net. Currently, the bug tracker was left open so that we can still read old bugs and move them over to GitLab. With some help from Launchpad.net support https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/695519 I figured out that we can disable bug submission there without losing access to the old bugs:
https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+configure-bugtracker -> Setting: Bugs are tracked: "somewhere else".
I tried that temporarily for a few seconds, and it seems to work:
Then, the main links "Bugs" and "Report a bug" on Launchpad disappear. However, one can still search for bugs using the direct link to the "advanced search": https://bugs.launchpad.net/~inkscape.bugs/+bugs?advanced=1 Links to old bugs still work, e.g.: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/682585
Maybe in the future we could import the old bugs to a separate GitLab project, so that one can find all bugs (inbox, real bugs, old launchpad bugs) using the single URL https://gitlab.com/groups/inkscape/-/issues .
And/or mass-close the largest part of the old bugs, at least those that are not confirmed/triaged and have not been updated for many years.
Looking forward to hear your thoughts.
Best regards and have a nice weekend
