For testing debbugs (or any other bug tracker) it is not enough with the developers. You need to involve the users. debbugs is not new, it is the system used by Debian and there is plenty of experience with it. Plus, some things are obvious. You don't need to work with debbugs for 6 months to realize that it is has no web interface for reporting bugs. Not do dismiss Don's work. I appreciate his effort. -- Oscar
