Dear QGIS Voting members
The bug tracker issue tracker for QGIS has been under much discussion over the last year (or more). This topic has again been under renewed discussion these last weeks and we need your help to move forward. If you want some back history, it would be good if you read this thread from the QGIS Developer mailing list:
In this context we would like to use this thread to make a decision and move forward in time for the QGIS 3.0 release.I will raise a motion for you to vote on attached to this thread. If we are not able to find a clear resolution we will present alternative options as a follow up vote, prompted by your discussion below.

While I am not against the move, at one point I am with Alessandro that there are still some other alternatives to consider and that brings me to Régis: Why hurry? - hackfest is coming - personal discussions in front of an important decision!

I have concerns about clashes of ticket numbers. What if I see reference to ticket #12345 in git history: how do I know it is a Redmine ticket or GH ticket?
- more thoughts that do not fit 250 characters limit here :-)

For the above reasons I abstain.

The "Groupe des Utilisateurs de QGIS - France" votes "NO" to the move to GH: Redmine while imperfect seems to fit users needs, other FOSS alternatives need study, ...

While I like the idea of having all things (code, tickets, wiki…) in the single place, not sure if GitHub/GitLab issues are flexible enough to fit our needs (filters, predefined queries etc)

I haven't explored github's issues filling enough to have a proper opinion. From a superficial look at things, I mostly worry we'd regress with github in terms of fields (and therefore filtering).

I am ok to migrate to github but would prefer to migrate to gitlab.

Not so many votes from the informal Spanish community, but the result is "agree". Now, because the group is not official, I used my vote to represent this community. I'll be independent when it will be official in (probably) May/June

I am in favor of moving to one integrated (and hosted) system, Github looks like the most feasible one currently.
