Re: [AD] Transferring bugs to github?

[SiegeLord <siegelordex@xxxxxxxxxx>]

So I explored this further.

Here's a test repository where I have transferred all bugs and feature 
requests from SourceForge:

https://github.com/allebot/sf-test/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue

Some representative issues:

https://github.com/allebot/sf-test/issues/450

https://github.com/allebot/sf-test/issues/359

allebot is a dummy account I intend to use for transfer to the actual 
Allegro repository. The way github works, you cannot make comments on 
behalf of other users, so all the comments are made by allebot. I tried 
to make it clear who was the original author with a little header. This 
is the only part that is impossible to change, but many other format 
things I can probably alter.

Any comments?
