It must have been already been discussed but I could not find it with a
trac research on the summary with "github".
Trac is a software that is really showing its age. It is now almost 20
years old now and you can tell from the UI because it did not really
change in the meanwhile. It was a good solution in the ~2000 but now I
can't think of any significant open-source project that is still using it.
It is showing its age and the user experience significantly drifted from
what is the norm today. Trac' usability is really poor, it does not use
markdown, and Django's Trac is ''super'' slow (an average of 5 actions for
any action as of today).
Ruby on Rails and CPython already moved to GitHub, and we should do the
same. The reasoning of moving to GitHub for CPython is detailed in the
[https://peps.python.org/pep-0581/ PEP 0581]. Despite a significant
resistance in the CPython project, that is rather conservative, they did
the move anyway, and they seem pretty satisfied. Contribution skyrocketted
after the move.
If CPython deemed it superior and managed to do it, we can and should do
it.
