For example, things like how they like > to interact with bug reports (if they use the Debbugs Emacs package, for > example), FWIW, here are my main criticisms of debbugs for my own personal use: - Can't search the database when I'm offline. I really wish the database was stored in Git, so I could easily have a clone of it. This said, compared to other issue tracking systems, the fact that it works over email makes it at least partly usable offline, which is a big plus. - No notion of "subscription" to a bug, so replies will sometimes fail to reach me. - The notion of "archived" bugs is a pain in the rear when you send a new message and the message just bounces back with "the bug is archived". Either get rid of it, or automatically unarchive bugs when a new reply is received, or something (e.g. ask for a confirmation message to unarchive the bug and add the already sent message), but the current way this is handled is *really* poor. - I find it a big difficult to classify bugs. I'm not sure exactly what I'd like, and maybe some of it can be done via tags and other things already, but I think I'd like it if bugs could be "assigned" to persons and/or to files and/or to "subsystems", and maybe even combine this with ways to describe relationships between those things (so the search tools can known that a given file belongs to a particular subsystem, for example). The poor web UI is of course another criticism but it mostly doesn't affect me. Stefan
