But for me, it beats bugzilla and > other Web browser based trackers handsomely. I agree completely. Email control of a bug tracker is the best way for most use. In an ideal world, our bug tracker could have good support for various kinds of interface. It would be good to add support for other kinds -- but not compromise support for email. Most contributors to Emacs do not need to use the bug tracker anyway. WHen you need to deal with bug reports often is when you start helping to fix problems in general rather than work on your own libraries and add a few features. -- Dr Richard Stallman Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
