Red Hat have transitioned almost entirely to JIRA.

Thankfully that's not an option for us (not dfsg free).

But it could be an option. If Atlassian offered the Debian project free
(gratis) use of their platform (especially if they handle the
administration), why wouldn't we accept?

Three points:

Having used Jira - I think I'd rather stick hot needles in my eyes.
Atlassian are *EXTREMELY* unlikely to offer anyone gratis use of their software. Do remember why we have Git to replace Bitkeeper - free gifts can get withdrawn.

Just my €0.02


If we're at that point of "considering" having a second system to the BTS (or to augment) what would be wrong with using Gitlab issues on Salsa?

I've done little research on the matter besides a quick search [1], but presumably the BTS software could be modified to build a bridge with the Gitlab issues?  Then perhaps maintainers for packages that want to opt in could set a flag to have the BTS forward everything from BTS to Salsa for their packages.

Gitlab has a fully email based Service Desk feature as well, which we use at work for customer support.
