Because it's harder to keep track of a long-living bug/request which spans many threads. I think git mailing list is for git development and helping users. It's not clear it should be a place to request features. I'm still wondering why people requested a lot in the survey while more than half subscribed to the mailing list. I personally feel the mailing list is a place for _contributing_ features (thoughtful ideas or patches) not just requesting features (desires without no clear idea how to implement it). Anyway it's still good to clearly state the git mailing list is for discussion, bug reports and feature requests in git.7 man page (together with git homepage maybe) > Any bugtracker has to be tied to mailing list, and > perhaps also two-way to gitweb (gitweb making links to bugtracker issues, > bugtracker having links to gitweb; perhaps incrementing revision > numbers...). Ruby (or YARV, I don't remember exactly) uses a bug tracking system that depends heavily on mailing lists (open bug with a mail, close bug with a mail ...). The benefit is that we have at least bug numbers :-) > -- > Jakub Narebski > Warsaw, Poland > ShadeHawk on #git -- Duy
