Here are my 2 cents anyway: A tool for bug management is extremely valuable. But there are comfort drawbacks (e.g. sometimes high latency of bugzilla.kernel.org) and a severe conceptional drawback compared to mailinglists: Any list subscriber may join a discussion with an additional test case or even with a new approach to solve a problem. The bug database lacks this kind of input which is vital for a non-corporate project like Linux. -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-=-= -=== ==--- http://arcgraph.de/sr/
