Hello James,

so many thanks for all the managing work you are doing here! It’s 
priceless in keeping our project going, I think.

How about managing this through the bug-list itself? The bug-squad would 
then answer to bug reports and:
– when accepting them, edit the subject line into something like "Issue 
4570: <Wrong output>" so we can keep track of the numbering correctly
– insert the normal metadata (label, status etc.) in separate lines at 
the beginning of the reply body text (and repeat or keep at the top 
within every reply to the thread)
At least within my setup (Mozilla Thunderbird) this would be quite 
manageable. When the new tracker will be setup, we’ll have to feed in 
the data from the mailing list – that’s suboptimal, but feasible as long 
as the transitioning doesn’t take overly long.
Another drawback is that there will be no formal restrictions for 
anybody to mess with the data. Hopefully, that would be controlled by 
the public visibility of postings.

What do you think, fellow Bug Squad members?

Yours, Simon
