I suggest creating a new 2.8.3 target in hub then, and start moving issues
there (those that are not regressions introduced by 2.8.1, if any).

Then, by *requiring* that any commit in 2.8 *must* reference a ticket
in hub, release management can happen from there (hub), allowing for
a per-ticket discussion (if needed).

It would help to have a way to make hub queries accessible via a simple
link. Does any such thing exist in redmine ? Similar to "reports" for trac...
