After all, a minimal migration would be to just link the
Bugzilla issue in Github.
This is what, for example, the Eclipse Foundation Helpdesk did (
see this example comment). They did it for all bugs, and I specifically don't want to migrate all 5000 open CDT bugs. I will add something about the process to the doc (i.e. adding comment linking to github + marking bug resolution as resolved).
I'd also suggest to spam all open tickets
to migrate them to Github if they are still relevant after a month
or so to inform all bug reporters that do not follow the CDT
development.
CDT has just
short of 5000 open bugs, so simply spamming all open tickets will generate hate :-) (from me at least!) What I have
requested from the EF is the ability to send a single email to all 5000 bug watchers. Not sure of the status of that. In the meantime AFAIK I am watching all 5000 of those bugs, so it relies on me seeing such activity and nudging the person in the GitHub direction. If anyone wants to help me on that they can "watch"[1] me on Bugzilla
What we can (and should do) is add a comment on all those bugs, but without email notifications on. I will add to the
TODO list adding this comment and asking Webmaster for help on notifying in a not too spammy way.
Thanks again for your input

[1] In
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/userprefs.cgi?tab=email look for the User Watching section. For example I watch all the CDT email addresses:
cdt-arduino-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx, cdt-build-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx, cdt-build-managed-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx, cdt-codan-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx, cdt-core-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx, cdt-cppunit-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx, cdt-debug-cdi-gdb-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx, cdt-debug-cdi-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx, cdt-debug-dsf-gdb-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx, cdt-debug-dsf-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx, cdt-debug-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx, cdt-doc-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx, cdt-editor-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx, cdt-indexer-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx, cdt-launch-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx, cdt-parser-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx, cdt-refactoring-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx, cdt-releng-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx, cdt-source-nav-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx + I am the default CC or QA contact for all new bugs. I still can miss bugs like this, but it is pretty good.
Cheers
Morty
