That is true, but I don't think we ever looked at the alternatives in
this respect.  I consider it a minor (though quite annoying)
misfeature, certainly not something serious enough to change the
platform.  If SourceHut or whatever we decide to use doesn't have this
misfeature, it's bonus points, of course.

We should first come up with a meaningful classification that would
help in handling the bugs.  Only then we can talk about the
implementation.  I don't have any practical suggestion for
classification ATM, and frankly, as long as we have only a handful of
people doing this, it doesn't sound very important.
