Special issue was created to notify users about the transfer: https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/issu...
together with the similar notification on the code.opencv.org: http://code.opencv.org/projects/openc...
I've already fixed some of the links on the main wiki page: http://code.opencv.org/projects/openc... and on the CONTRIBUTE page: http://opencv.org/contribute.html
Please, feel free to report any other places to be updated.
As for labeling: yes, you are right, labels can be assigned only by collaborators. I think, this restriction can become very useful, because old tracker contained many incorrectly labeled issues which were hard to determine. Version information can be added in the issue body.
@mshabunin any insights in your work?
i was just about to ask something similar.
how do we add version information / labels there ? i played a bit with my own repos , and it seems, only owner/maintainer can assign labels to an existing issue. that sounds cumbersome.
the problem I see arising now is that without a warning, people who are busy supplying fixes will not understand what happens...
