This is excellent news, thank you for the move! I was myself considering running our own bugtracker, seeing that wmorgan's github hasn't been updated in the last 7 months and he is the only one being able to act on them. Same thing would have to be done for the mailing-lists.
Speaking of the mailing list, is it okay if we hijack the wiki with heliotrope content ? I read too many complaints about it being too hard to install/use, and would love to fix it.
