I've only looked at Redmine very briefly, but it does seem like an
interesting tool.

Re: Bugzilla migration, we're currently on Step 1 of what I've termed
the "2-Step process":
Step 1: Migrate the LibreOffice 'product' to its own instance of
Bugzilla running on FDO infra
Step 2: Migrate the LibreOffice bugtracker to TDF infra

To make our current migration go smoothly, I suggest that we continue
with the current Bugzilla migration process for now, and evaluate
Redmine for the future -- perhaps after we have Bugzilla running on
our own infra.

Jonathan: If there is interest in evaluating an alternative to
Bugzilla, please prepare a proposal page on the wiki (similar to
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/LibreOffice_Bugzilla_Proposal)
where you outline the case for moving to Redmine. We'll obviously want
to consider pros and cons of migration, the stability of Redmine as a
project, etc. A proposal like that would be a good first step in any
migration to a different bugtracking system.

Thanks!
