Not that this matters to you guys, or should matter, but: Aeolus is
slowly moving upstream bug tracking *and* issue management to
github. We've done all right with Redmine for issue tracking, but we
think we'll benefit from the closer linkage between github issues and
the actual pull requests. The dev community felt BZ was too heavy for
upstream bugs, so we moved that to github a while ago. 

We will of course continue to use BZ for product issue tracking...
