When this was raised before, people seemed to have two concerns: * not having a single linear history of bugs. * having to risk losing a whole load of bug reports if the PHP project ever moves away from using Github. If we: * Close bugs.php.net to all new bugs, except maybe those created by logged in php.net accounts. * Prevent any non-logged in users from commenting. * Mirror any new bugs created on github to bugs.php.net with the appropriate packages etc. * Mirror comments + updates from github to bugs.php.net. that would address both those concerns. Github now supports Templates* for issue forms, these could be setup so users still select "Package affected", "PHP version" etc I'm prepared to do that work...if it sounds like a sensible plan to others and the work wouldn't be wasted. cheers Dan Ack * https://docs.github.com/en/communities/using-templates-to-encourage-useful-issues-and-pull-requests/syntax-for-issue-forms
