With the linking back and forth, I'm curious why there wasn't a switch to use GitHub's issue tracker when we switched to GitHub. I'm sure there was previous discussion about this and good reasons not to, but couldn't find those quickly (PEP 512, Google search, etc) -- can someone point me in the right direction? -Ben

Basically there was push-back on the idea and I only had enough time and patience for one major infrastructure change that was somewhat controversial and not for two.

Thanks to Kushal Das we now have one of the most requested features since the transition: a link in PRs back to bugs.python.org (in a more discoverable way since we have had them since Bedevere launched :) . When a pull request comes in with an issue number in the title (or one gets added), a link to bugs.python.org will be appended to the PR's body (the message you fill out when creating a PR). There's no logic to remove the link if the issue number is removed from the title, changed, or for multiple issue numbers since basically those cases are all rare and it was easier to launch without that kind of support.

P.S.: Berker Peksag is working on providing commit emails with diffs in them which is the other most requested feature since the transition.
