Reboot Bugspad

[Mayank Jha]

Hello folks.

I am writing after a long time indeed, more than 2 years or so. The last
time I contributed was around the same time. Thanks for letting me still be
a part of the Fedora Universe. So, I had been trying to restart on
completing what I had started, but things were keeping me from doing it.

I am wanting to continue on where I had left
<https://github.com/mjnovice/bugspad>;. However now when I look back at the
project I have some questions which I am searching answers for.

1. Why was the choice of golang in conjunction with redis ?
2. Are we wanting to solve the entire issue tracking problem from scratch,
or just replicating all the features which bugzilla already has ?
3. Does this project still hold value ? Will this improve our entire issue
tracking eco-system ?
4. The last time I spoke with Kushal, he was suggesting to go with python
as it will attract more contributors, but then aren't we undermining the
benefits we get from golang ?

I would want to do some benchmarking of sorts of whatever language we
choose, or library we use before jumping into developing with it. And I
would want to attract contributors by making the application awesome,
rather than choosing a language/library which is more popular amongst the
folks.

@Kevin, @Kushal, @Pierre and @all. Wanting your thoughts on this.
