why not close boost trac for new bug entries while keeping the history and give the users the hint to enter the bug report in github instead I'd go with that (with notice) - provided the GitHub bug tracker system can provide an equivalent way of linking reports to a changes-in-this-version history that *should* come with every library.

Good integration with github (including PRs) is one of the most important and compelling reasons to use the github issue trackers, IMO.

Some Boost libraries have Github issues disabled. That suggests the author prefers to get issues through Trac. The question of migrating issue tracking never came up formally. I think I recall that it was discussed but put in the 'too-difficult drawer' for the time being ;-)

Well, perhaps it was framed wrongly ? For avoidance of doubt: I'm fully with Robert here: the question shouldn't be whether all boost projects should switch to github issue tracking, but rather whether they *may* move away from the trac tracker to whatever they else they prefer.

And the issue keeps bubbling up from time to time...

Because the current situation is quite unsatisfactory. Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
