[CentOS-devel] An update on RHEL moving to issues.redhat.com

Hi folks,

In March of this year, Josh Boyer sent out a message to Fedora's devel list
letting everybody know RHEL was going to move from bugzilla.redhat.com to
issues.redhat.com (Jira) in the future [1].  The work on this activity
has proceeded with relative quiet since, although a couple weeks ago
Florian mentioned on centos-devel that Platform Tools had begun to move
[2].  I'm now providing a more official followup:

All new issues found or desired in RHEL (Or CentOS Stream) need to be filed
on issues.redhat.com.  It's no longer possible to create new BZs for
current RHEL (7 through 9) releases.  Over the next few weeks, most RHEL
BZs will be migrated to tickets in the RHEL project on issues.redhat.com.
The BZs that are migrated will be closed with resolution MIGRATED and a
pointer to the Jira issue included in the external links section of each
respective BZ.  Issues that don't get migrated may still be worked on in
Bugzilla- only new BZ creation is disabled, and only disabled in RHEL
products.  Like before, most new RHEL issues are publicly visible by
default, without any login required to view.

As CentOS Stream development *is* direct RHEL development, this is a
definite change, but hopefully only skin-deep.  As an example, previously
you might have created a RHEL 9 BZ with the Version field set to "CentOS
Stream".  On issues.redhat.com you would do the same thing by creating an
issue in the RHEL project with the "Affects Version" set to "CentOS Stream
9".  People are welcome to create an account on issues.redhat.com, just
like was done on bugzilla.redhat.com previously, see what we're up to, file
issues, and contribute there as well.  We've created a hopefully-helpful
article with account basics to get your account setup [3].

I've sent a corresponding message to fedora-devel, so apologies if you're
reading this a second time.
