[Qgis-developer] Qgis-Processing (former Sextante) has two bug trackers

[Alex Mandel]

It's really easy to move existing tickets. What I was looking for but
didn't find yesterday was a way in a New Issue to assign it to a
Sub-Project. If we do that it might be easier for tickets to end up in
the right place to start.

Thanks,
Alex
