Congratulations on that achievement.

What will happen to non-GNOME/third party products that we have on
Bugzilla? The example that comes to mind is Doxygen as it’s quite
visible (in the top 10 when looking at weekly reports). They use
Bugzilla but not git.gnome.org. For this specific case, they could
move their issues to Github where their repository already is

There are probably other similar cases, I seem to remember some
projects using Launchpad for code but our Bugzilla for bug reports.

In any case those probably shouldn’t be moved to the GNOME group on
Gitlab, right?

Any chance of getting
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Incubator/bztogl/issues/7 fixed before then?
It was supposedly blocked because you thought people would be against
the script impersonating them, but it turned out not to be an issue so
I guess nothing is blocking it anymore. That would vastly improve
legibility and usefulness of migrating issues.

Can we make a pass of archiving before that? Several repos haven’t had
any activity at all (not even translations) for 2, 3, … up to
8 years. There’s not much sense migrating those. A cleanup would
reduce the work load.
