We discussed this a bit at the summit. We have 'trac' set up and ready
to go, but we weren't planning on announcing it until we fork off
3.0-testing around the end of May/ beginning of June. If there was
strong demand, we'd obviously revist this, but my impression is that the
mailing lists are working effectively and bugs generally get fixed
pretty quickly. (Last week and this have been a bit tough because of the
summit and now Usenix TC)

The other issue that was raised was whether we need to go with bugzilla
to be able to integrate in to distro bug databases. We certainly prefer
trac, but if we need the ability to assign bugs between databases, I
guess we'll have to go with bugzilla.
Any views?

Thanks,
Ian
