There hasn't been much of a response to this yet, so I'm assuming that
everyone is OK with the idea of (1) and keeping the blocker tracking
app bugs on the fedora-qa trac. If we're going to migrate to a new
trac instance, I'd rather do it soon (in the next week) since we're
getting close to the F19 branch date.

On a related note, the proposal to consolidate autoqa-devel@ and other
QA development discussion on to a single list went over well and we've
started migrating over to the new qa-devel@ list [1]
