The question of migrating issue tracking never came up formally. So
perhaps some maintainers simply took for granted that migrating wasn't
an option ? I think it's at least worth raising the question.
(Specifically to the library authors / maintainers. There is no sense in
starting another of those endless tools discussions. Something as simple
as a quick poll: "would you consider switching to the github tracker, or
do you prefer to stay with trac ? Only answer with 'yes' or 'no'... ". :-) )
