Robert,

We used the trac issue tracker in 6man a few years ago when working on the SRv6 document.

Overall, it was cumbersome and didn’t work well for our needs.   We have not used it since.

I would be fine with "migrating (with help) to a different wiki system and a different issue tracking system”.

Bob
