Indeed, JMarc replied a bit after you and I privately replied to propose a course of action that'll hopefully get me back to submitting issues. Thanks to you both for your replies! Along those lines, you mentioned transitioning to Gitlab. That's something I investigated ~1 year ago. I'm happy to share nascent (and partial) work, but I'm unsure whether there are any privacy concerns of the metadata that I propagated, which is why I'm not immediately sharing the link in this note. >From that work, I observe that the migration will be somewhat labor intensive, and many of the formatting "niceties" of legacy issues will be lost or at least severely diluted. I'm not entirely happy with the result, which is why I didn't share progress before now, but perhaps the 90% solution is acceptable for older issues acknowledging that the 100% solution for issues and the other tightly integrated interface elements for future issues (and work) is worth it. I provide this link in case we want to revisit discussion on this point and to pursue this as an option. I'm happy to address comments, questions, or concerns in this regard. Thanks again, Joel
