This is coordinated on #archlinux-bugs on Freenode right?

I think we have a lot of issues which are fixable but the packager has
not been able to do it yet. In my opinion we should also try to fix as
much packages as possible, which everyone should be able to do.

What infrastructure tickets are there on flyspray? What about other
projects such as aurweb, pacman etc?

It would be amazing if this goes together with the Git migration, how
would the bug tracker on Gitlab work for community/core/extra?

Can you create an isse on the infrastructure repository with these
steps? Would be nice to keep track of the progress in a central location.

Thanks!
