[Biopython-dev] Retiring our old RedMine bug tracker

[Markus Piotrowski]

I would also volunteer but I'm unsure what exactly is the job?
Should there be a special tag to put to the title of a transferred issue?
How to delete the issues on RedMine or mark them as transferred?
Copy the whole RedMine issue including its discussion into the GitHub issue?
