This is an argument that users often would _like_ to look at the bug tracker. They don't _need_ it, but having it would motivate them. This suggests that we do want a web interface to the bug tracker. But we don't have to replace the bug tracker. A web interface to it would do the job. How hard is it to add that on top of Debbugs? -- Dr Richard Stallman Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
