Personally, I think more people will love it once they get to use it so if something like 100 issues can be migrated to a sample repo with labels, content etc.
We're already using GitHub issues for pretty much everything in Python core development that isn't CPython itself, and even for CPython, folks experience the core issue management interface in the overview page for pull requests.
One of the requests we made at the Language Summit discussion last year was for Mariatta to enhance PEP 581 with additional discussion of what would need to change to bring the Roundup instance up to the point of being competitive with the GitHub issues user experience, which she added:
- https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0581/#issues-with-roundup-bpo
- https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0581/#why-not-focus-on-improving-roundup-bpo
There's been plenty of time since then for folks to put forward a competing proposal to modernise the Roundup UI directly instead of migrating to a different issue tracking tool, but so far no such proposal has emerged.
One of the other blockers was the fact that the Contributor Licensing Agreement process was tightly coupled to some custom fields in b.p.o [1], and that is now very close to being resolved thanks to Mariatta's efforts (and provides a nice workflow improvement in its own right).
Cheers, Nick.
