You know what, a good part of the projects I was looking at cause they use bugzilla, trac or whatever are actually migrated to GitLab or GitHub recently.

Gnome, OpenVPN, OpenStreetMaps, GHC, I2P, Tor, OpenWRT, VLC, wxWidgets, Alpine Linux and probably a bunch more.

@abcdw Wow that's unfortunate. I was literally not too long ago looking at projects that used bugzilla as a ticketing system to contribute to, and a few in the list were still using it not too long ago :(
Any idea why this might be happening?

@floindr Maybe because it's hard to maintain and administrate, integrate with other tools like CI, VCS, Knowledge Base, etc.

Also, it's often hard to contribute to such projects for less involved people (cause of unusual services and workflows).

There are a few articles/wiki pages on the internet documenting migration reasons and forge comparison for needs of particular projects.
