Background
===================
A long time ago \url{http://forge.typo3.org} (based on Redmine) was introduced as a replacement for the bug tracker at \url{http://bugs.typo3.org} (based on Mantis).
The main advantage of Redmine is that it is not just an issue tracker, but also allows per-project repositories, wikis, etc.
TYPO3 CMS and most active projects/extensions have already moved to the forge platform about one-and-a-half years ago.
As the server team wants to keep the burden of maintanance as low as possible and because two issue trackers for one community is one too much, we have decided to phase out the support of \url{http://bugs.typo3.org}.
An automatic migration of all open issues is unfortunately not possible.
In case you have any questions, please contact us through admin@typo3.org
