[squeak-dev] The Future of Bugs.Squeak.org?

We are currently in the process of migrating all of our Internet
services from an old server to a new one (kindly donated by Gandi.net).
In the process I'm re-evaluating all of the services and the software
used to support them.
One issue I think we need to seriously evaluate as a community is our
issue tracking mechanism. I among others some years ago strongly
advocated for a transition to Mantis. I can't honestly say that that
has been a success. While there has been some activity on
bugs.squeak.org in the last couple of days, there has been very very
little in the last year and most of that is from just a handful of users.
Maintaining bugs.squeak.org has costs and the server resources we have
are taxed by the services we are maintaining. When I look over what we
offer and what is used by the community, it seems like our Mantis
instance is little valued. Frankly I'm disinclined to set it up on the
new server.
I want to keep this email short but I think there are many other
alternatives that are less costly (in service resources) and that would
hopefully get more traction in the community.
How many of you would even notice if bugs.squeak.org disappeared?
