Hello everyone,
as we have completed the bugtracker migration it would be good to post a
news item about it.
Please give feedback if you have any about the draft below!
Cheers,

# Bugtracker migration to GitLab completed
We are happy to announce that the migration of the bugtracker to GitLab is done! 🥳
This means the issue tracker and merge requests on the Gitlab package repos are now enabled.
The old bugtracker will subsequently be closed down. For archiving reasons there will be a static copy so that links (for example the randomly picked [Task #56716][0]) are still stable, migrated bugs have a closing comment pointing to the new URL on GitLab.
Packaging bugs are now opened on the repo hosting the corresponding packaging sources, the "Add a new Bug" Button on the package page on archlinux.org will automatically direct you to the correct place to open the issue. The workflow afterwards is mostly the same, first our [Bug Wranglers][1] will have a look at the issues and triage them and then they will be handed over to the respective [Package Maintainers][2] to fix. A list of all issues can be found [here][3].
If you do not have an account for GitLab already please write us a mail with your desired username to accountsupport(a)archlinux.org as advised in the banner!
Thanks to everyone who has helped during the migration!
