Subject: Migrate all issues from Google Code to github
Google Code is shutting down: http://google-opensource.blogspot.ca/2015/03/farewell-to-google-code.html This is where the "official" bug tracker for this distribution is located. We need to migrate all these tickets. Since there is a programmatic way of migrating issues from Google Code to github, and this distribution is already managed by the libwww-perl group in github, I propose that the tickets be migrated to there rather than to RT. I am seeing now about getting the issue queue opened up at https://github.com/libwww-perl/WWW-Mechanize.

This is a duplicate of #104912.

I'm raising this issue to critical status now as August is the deadline for making any changes to the Google Code repository and issue queue. WE NEED TO GET THIS CONTENT MIGRATED ASAP. Note that only the original maintainers apparently have access now. I tried to get a Pull Request Challenge participant to look at the migration last month, but access is locked down so she was not able to (nor do I have access).
Is there something you need from me?

Someone with access to the Google Code repository (i.e. not me) needs to do the migration. See the first message in this ticket.
I don't think the Google Code repo even exists any more. I'm not seeing it.

That's really unfortunate. I remember it existing last year, with quite a number of tickets in the issue queue...
The Wayback Machine has a snapshot as of December 2014. The vast majority of the tickets, from what I see from skimming through them, are just cut & pastes from RT anyway, back to 2007. I suggest that a mass copy of tickets over to GitHub would be anti-helpful, anyway. This seems like it would be a good time to weed out ancient tickets that are never going to get addressed. I would be glad to work with someone to get the tickets triaged and moved over to GitHub.
