Back when Morris (the busybox/uClibc server) got cracked, the mantis bug 
tracker turned out to be the infection vector.  So we yanked it to protect the 
server, and since then migrated the old debian image that nobody was 
administering since Erik left to a gentoo image administered by OSUOSL.

Rather than put mantis back, Bernhard and Denys decided to go with Bugzilla.  
I haven't been following it closely because I don't really use the bug 
tracker.

The page was a notice that it was down for several weeks before the bugzilla 
went up.

There was a vague plan to migrate the old data, but I dunno its current 
status.  I have a snapshot of the static web pages, and the OSUOSL guys still 
have the data.

Ping support at osuosl.org with these kind of questions. :)
