Why _bound to reproduce_? Let's put it another way: we are _motivated to create_ an Emacs-based issue tracker. And once we implement it, even other projects might benefit from that. As for a web interface, I think it is not an absolute requirement, and even often undesirable, since a better method for filing bugs is `report-emacs-bug' which also adds all the necessary information and doesn't require from Emacs users additional tools. Though, a some kind of an add-on HTTP<->CVS gateway could be implemented to sync data between Savannah bug database and text files in CVS repository, if that becomes absolutely necessary. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
