    Yes, but I'm also suggesting use of a bug database to ensure that reported bugs
    don't get lost.  That has also come up before and was considered unnecessary,
    but at that time reported bugs were only recorded in the archives.

It would be useful to run a bug tracker, but I have never done so, and
I don't know what work for us is required.  Do we transfer the bugs
into the tracker by hand?  If so, who wants to do that?
