sure, I never doubted that! :)

As I tried to explain was the combination of the immediate action
itself, coming from a discussion which was just started, combined with
explaining/announcing this action with a screenshot (which itself I'm
sure was ment 'funny' or geeky or some harmless/nice thing).

It has been that way for months, so I dont understand the perceived
hurry. Also that organisation still had members (which surely can be
added easily), so I think my main complaint is what I wrote above: the
combination of... (see above :)


anyhow, i dont hold any grudge or anything and would prefer to move on
with the question at hand:

2nd, we dont have issues on salsa enabled.

so let's get the mirror back and track upstream issues on github?

I was going to write "Or let's accept that diffoscope is a 'Debian
Reproducible Builds Project' and use the BTS or salsa for upstream bug
tracking too" but then I realized that we have the same problem with eg
the website, though there it's probably less a problem as we strive less
for drive-by contributors there.

But I think we want to move something distro agnostic, and salsa.d.o
is very much Debian centric, so I think we should look for something
else. I'd be fine to using github.com or gitlab.com or foobar.
