Is openFATE officially dead? https://features.opensuse.org/
Yes, it has been for quite some time already (I don't have the announcements about it at hand, but they should be easily findable).
From https://features.opensuse.org/ Disclaimer: Dear visitor, please be advised that this page is outdated and dysfunctional in parts and will be discontinued. If you are interested in how to propose features for the openSUSE Project, then please join the according discussions on our mailinglists. For proposing new features in the openSUSE distributions, you can use the opensuse-factory mailinglist. For project-related topics, the opensuse-project mailinglist is a good place to start with. See also https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Openfate and links there
Given that across entire project, it was very rare for anyone to do anything based on an openFATE request, yes, the Board approved its removal.
IMHO, in such case, it should be removed, as on-line tool which is not working properly is confusing and not good mark of the project organization state.
So for topics like this, we'd recommend using this mailinglist, or maybe more specific lists when they exist (eg. opensuse-kubic@, yast-devel@, etc) for any discussions needed to refine a feature idea. And once an idea is accepted by someone to be implemented, the Board don't presume to recommend which tool(s) those contributors should use for tracking their own planned work. I'm a fan of post-it notes ;)
What I like(d) about the openFATE is that it is one central place where one could easily see everything (lists, tags, filtration, notifications, tracing, ...). In ML such topics are easily lost among other conversation and hard to find later. What's wrong about requiring something like openFATE to be used to trace features, their state, etc. (I know it only from user's perspective, not from developer's)?
