Migration of issues from Drupal.org and access to the issue list
All open Devel issues have been migrated to DrupalSpons, and the main issue list page has been made unavailable on drupal.org. However individual issues are viewable if you know the issue number. Each migrated issue has a link back to the original d.o. issue. Initially 148 issues were migrated but this is now down to 133 migrated open issues.
Is it possible for the issue list page on d.o. to be made viewable again, but not allow any new issues to be posted? That would allow users arriving at the project page to search the issues (including ones that were closed and not migrated). Users who are already following d.o. issues will be able to find them again and go to the DrupalSpoons version for progress.
When staring work on any migrated issue, the developer should check that a forwards link on the d.o. issue has been added.
When an issue is closed on DrupalSpoons we should then mark it 'Fixed' on the d.o. issue too, so that followers are notified.
