Hi,

Everyone, let's please make an effort to not discuss the bugtracker topic into
the ground.  I would particularly like to ask that this issue *be avoided by
non-developers*.  If you don't have a CVS account and are not making meaningful
contributions to Gentoo Linux, start doing that first.  Then you'll be able to
contribute to the bug tracker discussion in a meaningful way.

Best Regards,

Just so noone thinks this project is dying, I am going to be setting up
some test bug tracking sites in the next couple of days for developers to
poke at.

I'm absolutely the wrong person to put this topic together, but
I'll give it a stab anyway.

User requirements:
  1. Simple to add a bug, an ebuild or a patch, or a feature request.
  2. Current bugs/whatever easily displayed, preferably by priority
  3. Search system for bugs/whatever
  4. Responses, whether by developers or other users, nicely threaded.

My own opinion is that being able to easily scan the current bugs/to-dos
is very important, which is why I put (2) above (3).  I'm reasonably 
agnostic over whether the submission interface should be via web,
e-mail, or both.  I like the way that roundup keeps a list of everybody
who has commented on a particular bug/to-do and sends an e-mail to 
everybody on that list whenever a bug/to-do is updated.  I assume the
other bug trackers do something similar.

Dev requirements:
  1. All of the above user requirements.  Hey, we'll use it most!
  2. Ability to own a bug/to-do, set the priority, label it complete, etc.
  3. Probably lots of other things that I can't think of right now.

Now if somebody who actually uses one of these things would take up this
thread. . ..
