Hi everybody!
More than six months ago, Wikimedia migrated its bug report management
from Bugzilla to Phabricator.
At the same time, Bugzilla was turned read-only (but still allowed
users to log in to access and manually migrate votes or saved searches)
and moved to the address
old-bugzilla.wikimedia.org.
Before that migration, users were asked to join Phabricator and were
made aware of required steps and limitations [1].
This was done via a banner on top of Bugzilla, emails on wikitech-l@,
announcements on en.wp Village Pump, and two emails to all Bugzilla
users who had logged in since October 2013 [2].
Now after everybody had more than six months to switch to Phabricator,
old-bugzilla.wikimedia.org is planned to get switched off on June 22nd
[3] (as keeping Bugzilla running requires maintenance like applying
security updates).
Thanks to John and Daniel, a static HTML version of old-bugzilla exists
at
https://static-bugzilla.wikimedia.org [4].
It allows to still access those historical Bugzilla reports and the
related history/activity.
Please note that you can still claim the activity of your Bugzilla
account imported into Phabricator [5] after switching off old-bugzilla,
as this functionality does not rely on old-bugzilla being available.
I'd like to thank John & Daniel for all their work creating static-bz!
Cheers,
andre
