Your nightmare scenario seems unavoidable. Enabling per-overlay bug
tracking doesn't stop users posting bugs in bugzilla. It just causes
confusion for users, because they're not sure where to go. Normally,
it's not a problem - because the overlay contributors are normally the
owners of the real package.
A hostile fork of Catalyst is very much a special case.
What we could do is say that overlays are for package trees only; ie
they are not general-purpose repositories for holding source trees.
That would ensure that your nightmare scenario is even less likely to
happen, and that if it does, it's through no fault of the overlays
project :)
Best regards,
Stu
