Demo import of bugs/patches/rfes to Launchpad

I'm happy to announce a demo import from SourceForge's bug tracker,  
patches tracker, and feature request tracker into Launchpad, and I  
invite you to play with the new issue tracker so that we can decide  
whether or not to complete this step of project hosting migration.

The url is <https://bugs.demo.launchpad.net/mailman/+bugs>

Things to note:

This is a /demo/ import meaning that you can play with it all you want  
and it will not affect the eventual production import of the issues.  
This is a live demo though, so you should be able to try out all the  
features you would have access to in the main Launchpad site.  Just  
remember that at the end of the demo, all these changes will be lost.

All three SF trackers have been collapsed into one tracker on LP.  
With only 632 open issues, hopefully this will not be a problem, but  
if it is we can at least just import the bug tracker when/if we  
switch.  If we wanted to import all three trackers but keep them  
separate, we'd have to figure something out.

I don't have a timeframe for converting, or deciding to convert.  Much  
depends on your feedback (and especially Mark's) and the readiness of  
the LP administrators to do the production import.  I think if we like  
it, we could make the switch fairly quickly.

Please send your feedback to me and I will communicate it back to the  
Launchpad developers working on this.  My thanks go to Graham Binns  
and Tom Haddon.

Enjoy,
- -Barry

I've played with it a little bit, and I think it will be fine. One of
the obvious advantages is the tighter integration with bazaar (I guess
any would be tighter than what we have :)

I think it's fine to convert. I wonder if it is possible in the
conversion to map SF users to LP users where there is a correspondence,
e.g. instead of mapping SF msapiro to LP Msapiro-users, map to LP Mark
Sapiro. Or if there is a way after the fact to say Msapiro-users is me.

I'll double check, but I believe the way this is handled is that new  
users are created for each of the SF user names, and we (or the  
individual user) can request that those users be merged into your  
official LP user id.

If there are no objections, I'll chat with the folks doing the import  
and let them know that we're ready to switch over.  We'll schedule a  
flag day and make the announcement before actually switching over.
