OK. My reading of the thread is that the hackers who expressed an
opinion mostly preferred debbugs and the people less involved in the
project wanted something more like GitHub/GitLab. Some people also
argued for and against Bugzilla and JIRA. I didn't really see anybody
agitating for Redmine, so I'm not sure how far you're going to get
with that.

But I'm not really arguing against it. We use it here at
EnterpriseDB, and it's very helpful, though it is undeniably a
[expletive]-ton of work to maintain.
