[ANN][IMPORTANT] Pharo 8.0 issue tracker is MOVED to GitHub

EstebanLM
Hi, 

As part of our constant try to enhance process, we are moving the issue tracker to GitHub.
You can now declare issues here: 


FAQ: 

Q: Why we do this?
A: 
- Because reuniting all development process in just one point will enhance traceability
- … and communication (there are a lot of conversations that now happens in different places (list, issue, PR). With this move we put issue and PR discussion in same place.
- … and people historically has complained that “they need to log to fogbugz to just see the issues” 
- … and this allows us to decommission one server we have now just to get the issues names when creating branches (and before slides).

Q: Does that means fogbugz is bad?
A: Not at all! It is a great tool and we are very grateful of it. Is just that we want to reunite our communication into a single point.

Q: What will happen with issues reported in FogBugz?
A: Pharo 7.0 issues will be taken as before. Pharo 8.0 issues need to be re-opened in GitHub. There are less than 25 right now and we ask people reporting it to move them again (maybe we would do it, but better is owners do).

Q: How can we “branch from issue” now if we do not have FogBugz?
A: We already added a tool “branch from issue” that uses GitHub issue tracker. This will be the same as before. 
And for the same price, we add that option to other projects: All GitHub projects now can benefit from “branch from issue” functionality.

Cheers!
Esteban

That all sounds fair and reasonable.  I just want to clarify if there was going to be any issue migration of 
old/closed issues (after Pharo 7 release).
I understand its a big effort and the value might not be worth it - but just curious what are the constraints and plans.
