Make Pulp Bug Tracking Awesome Like Foreman

I work on a repository management project called Pulp 0 which is a
completely separate project from Foreman, but is often run together with
Foreman by users. Pulp currently uses a mixture of Bugzilla and Rally to
track bugs and stories respectively, but we're contemplating migrating to
Redmine because it would let us work out of one place, use more integrated
workflows, and be more open. Redmine setup and support has a learning
curve, so we would like to avoid hosting it ourselves. Who maintains the
Foreman Redmine instance, and is there any chance they would be willing to
create a Redmine project space for Pulp?

Pulp currently has 437 bugs in Bugzilla and 68 user stories. A CNAME like
dev.pulpproject.org or something similar redirect could be used to direct
Pulp traffic to a virtual host (I'm not sure how Redmine hosts multiple
instances or projects). Pulp devs would handle all the migration tasks
inside the environment if someone from Foreman could create us a place to
migrate into. With the effort it takes to migrate in, we would want to be
sure of two things:

  1. Foreman is going to use and support their own use of Redmine for a long
    time
  2. Foreman is comfortable providing a similar config for a Pulp instance of
    Redmine (vhost or otherwise) for a long time

I can't claim a direct benefit to Foreman, but there would be an indirect
benefit that the Pulp and Foreman developer communities would get to
interact more. If this idea resonates with any of the Foreman devs let me
know.

Thanks,
Brian

definitely no plans to change this, as far as I have heard.

they were generous with us on the Katello project. Hopefully the same
for Pulp.

our issues reside at:

http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/katello

would a similar:

http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/pulp

be sufficient?
