I was wondering if people have thoughts on how to manage bug tracking for the WPT Dashboard. The source of truth for the source code is on GitHub:

And we also have some bugs in Monorail:

My thoughts:
- We will probably need to accept new bugs from both GitHub and Monorail (external contributors will file bugs in GH and those in the Chromium ecosystem will probably file bugs in Monorail)
- Where should we track milestones? We have a WPTD M2 umbrella bug in Monorail, but I like the idea of using GH milestones - if this is going to be a cross-browser collaboration, it doesn't seem fitting to use one browser's bug tracker to track the work

IMHO since it's intended to be a public / browser-neutral tool we would ideally just use GitHub for issue tracking.  That's what we're doing with the other tools (eg. confluence dashboard).  We can train chromium users to file there (like they do already for tools like chromestatus.com - due to the "file site bug" link at the bottom).

I agree, if we can make GitHub work, then we should. Are there features of Monorail that we would really miss?

The only feature of Monorail I really miss on GitHub is being able to mark bugs as blocking other bugs. For some use cases (like umbrella bugs) GitHub milestones can serve that purpose.

OK, so let's just use GitHub. There are very few open dashboard bugs in Chromium right now, but rather than copy-pasting them over maybe we could just start with a issue pointing to them, like https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/597

Sgtm, created an aggregation bug for the two open Chromium bugs: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/wptdashboard/issues/31
