Hi Vagrant,

Thanks for sharing your experience, it’s definitely relevant!

Wait, are users told they can report bugs not just to Debbugs but also
to salsa.debian.org?  (Back when I used Debian, email, possibly via
‘reportbug’, was the only way to report bugs.)

In practice, would you say that there’s a group only paying attention to
salsa and another one only paying attention to Debbugs?  Or is it less
clear-cut than that?

Note that, as currently worded, the flag day is only for new bug reports
and patches; if we were to adopt it as-is, we’d continue using Debbugs
for months or years to process the backlog.

It wouldn’t be as sharp a transition as it may seem.
