People can now cross-reference issues, discuss, get notifications, and have some simplified/readable markup. For the 99% of developers, this is better than any self-hosted tool with its own workflow, and also more familiar (we all use Github, unless we live under a rock, which is the 1%). We really disliked the move, because Jira had integrated workflows as we wanted them, as well as security issues (discussed above) and multi-milestone support, but I'd trust a GPG encrypted mail over Jira's MySQL instance for storing those security issues. Still, activity buzzed after the move. Yes, it is chaotic, but at least people can help out, cross-link, and generally be more part of the workflow. As it currently stands, I only go to bugs.php.net to create a github issue where I link it as reference. Just my 2 cents. Marco Pivetta http://twitter.com/Ocramius http://ocramius.github.com/
