Re: issue tracker?

Hi Bastien,

in the meanwhile someone found the patch, and we are working on it.

thank you for the feedback!

but it stays confusing, and sure I get the point, people here are 
volunteers, working on their free time, but precisely for this reason it 
would be better if we could rely on some more focused / focusing tool 
for working on patches.

while working on my contribution, I'm also reading the code I'm adding 
to, and I am tempted to perform unrelated edits, like correcting a 
docstring to a function that does something, just not quite what the 
docstring says, or refactoring stuff in order to add missing unit tests, 
but that way my patch would not focus on the task of adding this small 
piece of functionality.

it's several unrelated edits, and if we were to do this via email, it 
would cost all of us so much time, that I think I'll better leave it.

ciao, best regards, MF
