Phabricator as bug tracker system (off topic)

Hi, (I apologise for this off topic message)
From the discussion started in https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-June/005117.html, it seems GHC HQ didn't choose Phabricator as bug tracker system because migrating from Trac "...There's no real pressure to do so and it would be tons of work".
Since Google is shutting down Google Code, we need to move Agda's bug tracker system from Google Code to something else.
From some preliminary investigation, it seems Phabricator bug tracker system (Maniphest) is more robust than GitHub one.
I would appreciate some feedback related to Maniphest or other bug tracker system. Thanks, -- Andrés

we need to move Agda's bug tracker system from Google Code to something else. Finally! I disliked Google Code so much that if I found a bug in Agda I either mailed it to the discussion list or did not report it at all.
And now on topic: - the only project I've been using Trac for is GHC. It seems to lack some more advanced features but from a developer's perspective it conatins everything necessary to do the job. It can be customized to the needs of a project. I think the only major downside of Trac is that a single installation can only run a single project. Probably not a problem for Agda. - GitHubs issue tracker lacks many fetures that might be essential for a larger project. For example you can't assign related issues or blocked issues. There is no way to add attachments or customize it in any way (eg. GHC Trac can list test names for a given ticket and connects tickets to phabricator). Still better than Google Code IMO. - I've been also using and administrating Redmine. It is feature rich and much more intuitive than Trac (at least for me). One instance can run multiple projects. Major downside: it starts slowly (ie. if no one was using it recently and someone visits it the instance must be started and that takes several seconds). - I've been also using Bugzilla, mostly to report bugs for some open-source project. For a pearson that only reports bugs it was OK. Not sure how it works for a developer. HTH Janek

Jan, I'm using Trac for managing 5 independent internal projects without a problem and this is a single installation. Cheers, Karel
