Being the person responsible for writing our flyspray ansible's role and having spent an
awful amount of time writing nginx redirects to overcome the fact that flyspray can't handle
decent URL's, I might be a little biased against it.

I agree with the move to bugzilla. I advocated in the past for us to use something like gitlab, but
we are using github and I think we should embrace it and make it "official". But I think neither
gitlab nor github's issue trackers are that great. At least not for some of the things we do. We
can use them just fine for our projects, though.

I'm for starting clean and making the current flyspray read-only.

Agreed.
