For example, I do not need to= register to the devel list and I do not have to watch all mails to loc= ate the one which concerns my bug. It works nicely with fedora, magieia and other distro / tools, so I don= 't know why this shouldn't work fine with git ? But as far as I can read, most people here are very reluctant to use a = bugtracking tool ...

No bugzilla tool installed because somebody > want to build a gitbased bugzilla thing ? Personally, I do not want Yet Another Bugzilla Account. A project is significantly less likely to get a patch from me if I have to create an account to report a bug. Most of the patches I send to various project= s are for bugs I've experienced and want to provide a fix for, so I send = a small number of patches to many projects. I feel that the mailing list workflow ends up working very well for Git and it provides a low barrier to entry for those that want to send just one or two patches for problems that they're experiencing. It also allows me to see and comment on virtually every patch on the list, whil= e ignoring threads I am not interested in, a combination which is difficult to achieve with a web-based bug tracker. --=20 brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion onl= y OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B18= 7
