Calling for outside opinions was also a half hearted plea for help :)
Is this an indication that we finally have to settle on another bug
This has been discussed previously but I can't find any conclusions from those past discussions, hence I'm asking again. I do not intend to dismiss
work of those people working on StoryBoard in the slightest, but it does seem like StoryBoard as a project has never really taken off outside OpenStack and is having a hard time surviving, let alone growing, likely because of
with the widespread use of forge-style tools (GitHub, GitLab) and more comprehensive project management tools (sigh, JIRA). I recall fungi (?) raising the idea of enabling the more forge'y features, including the issue

Gitea in the past, but there are also separate tools like (heaven forbid) Bugzilla, Trac, Mantis, etc. that we could use. Heck, Launchpad is still around and is still open source (though I recall there being other issues with that?). We've already made a tough decision recently, with the sunsetting of ask.o.o, and with the impending deprecation of Angular.js, perhaps this is as good a time as any to do the same with StoryBoard?
FWIW, I started a similar thread in September 2020: [1] You might want to read it too.

Ugh, my search wasn't anywhere near thorough enough. Apologies and thanks for the link. To summarize, it seems the blocker to using Gitea's issue tracking feature is (a) lack of support for confidential issues and (b) how the front-end is currently deployed, while the reason not to prefer Launchpad is the requirement to use Canonical's SSO. We're not going to be able to fix the latter so someone needs to either add confidential issue support to Gitea or propose yet another tool to fill the gap. That or help rewrite the entire frontend of StoryBoard, of course :)
/me also wonders how rough newer versions of upstream Bugzilla (vs. the heavily customized Mozilla and Red Hat instances) are these days.
I only have experience with the Red Hat instance, and I find virtually any other solution superior to it, including a shared folder over NFS (only half-kidding). Dmitry
