Don't we have the same issue with debbugs and mailing lists? At the moment we put links to bugs.gnu.org, emacs-devel, help-gnu-emacs, as well as the bug trackers and mailing lists of various other projets, when relevant). Here we would put links to pull request numbers, likely prefixed with some identifier; maybe something like gitlab:57? > And what if the tracker that hosted the discussion goes dark (e.g., > because the person who submitted the patch is no longer keeping the > branch, That's not how it works: comments are attached to code fragments, like in a patch, so they don't go away if the branch is deleted. Just like patches sent by email. > or simply because the hosting service is discontinued? I expect we would self-host, like debian and gnome do with gitlab, right? So if we decided to discontinue the service (i.e. migrate to another platform) we would need to migrate our issues as well. > We must have all these archives in a single place, which we can > control and which we can ensure continues to be available for years > to come. Definitely: that's why we imported old history when we migrated to git. Same for bug tracking or pull requests: if we move to a different service, we'd want to export them. Clément.
