Did we not agree moving this into it's separated tracker or use
autoqa one?
I remember that being discussed but IIRC, we decided to send a proposal
on how to move forward to the list for discussion.

If autoqa is going to be using that mailing list as well then it
makes sense to move into their tracker as well.
Kamil pretty much covered everything that I would have said in his
email. Trac doesn't do well with multiple projects and while it happens
to not be terrible for BBA and fedora-qa, it doesn't work well in
general.
I understand the desire to reduce the number of trac instances and
honestly, I'd rather not have another instance to admin. However, the
costs of having to deal with a sub-optimal tracker configuration just
for the sake of having a single instance are just too high to make
sense.
