I have now set up an instance of bugzilla at bugs.octave.org. We
could use this. On the plus side, it is bugzilla, which is a fairly
comprehensive, well known, and widely used bug reporting system. Some
negatives that I can see:
Would it work to use an existing Bugzilla, e.g. Fedora's? It is already
set up and maintained, and it has a significant infrastructure built
around it, admittedly centered around Fedora/RPM.
For instance, Fedora has the ABRT (automatic bug reporting tool) that
kicks in on application crash and guides people through the bug
submission process: downloads debugging symbols if they aren't installed
already, formats stack trace and gathers related info, and submits it to
Bugzilla. I think that's how things like Firefox get most of their bug
reports; it is of course both blessing and a curse, but overall a good
thing, I believe. After the bug report stage, there's also a QA/update
process (koji/bodhi) that helps package maintainers in pushing updated
packages out to users.
Since you are the upstream of the process, you must have talked to
the package maintainers (alexlan, jussilehtola, mmahut and rakesh)
who watch the bugzilla, and can handle patching and rebuilding on the
Fedora side. As of now, they have 86 reports for octave, most of them
