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. > - I find it a big difficult to classify bugs.

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.
