[ANNOUNCEMENT] Bugzilla >/dev/null, switching to launchpad.net

[Mariusz Mazur]

From now on bugs.pld-linux.org redirects to 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/pld-linux. Old bugzilla is available under, well, 
oldbugzilla.pld-linux.org with the only modification being that the 'add new 
bug' form redirects to the appropriate launchpad form, meaning it's not 
possible to add new bugs to the old bugzilla.

Plan is for the migration to be a natural process without any forced bug db 
migration. Bugs already inside bugzilla are to be resolved there, unless 
they're some kind of uber important long-term bugs in which case ppl are free 
to manually close them in bugzilla and reopen in launchpad (with a url 
pointing to bugzilla where appropriate). For ppl still working on some 
already opened bugzilla bugs, should there be any problems, describe them 
inside this email thread.

Rationale:
Launchpad was chosen because (a) we don't have to maintain it, (b) we don't 
have to host it (backups, whatever), (c) we don't have to develop it and (d) 
it has some nice feature for upstream integration.

Oh, just to make one thing clear -- launchpad has been in use by some 
developers for some time now and all of the current RM's either are for this 
switch or don't care either way. I really hope there are no bugzilla zealots 
or launchpad haters :)
