In other words: the "problem" it's not the tool, it's the *interface*. Please also consider that if (I hope not) the Guix would decide to adopt a different bug/issue tracker system then Someome=E2=84=A2 will have to administrate it, and currently there are other pieces of core infrastructure that need more resources, e.g. QA. Speaking of interface features, I simply *love* the email based interface provided by Debbugs [1]; also the web UI is not bad, and the Mumi one (https://issues.guix.gnu.org/) it's even better. But I'm curious: what bug tracker would you suggest instead of Debbugs? Let's see what some "big players" are using... > It causes a lot of pain for everyone, eg. when sending patchsets, it > completely breaks modern email because it insists on rewriting > DMARC-protected headers, thus needing to also rewrite "From:" to avoid > DMARC errors. I don't understand what "completely breaks modern email" means: please could you point me to a document where this issue/bug is documented? > I've been following the Linux kernel development a bit closer this past > year, and while there are things that need to improve (like knowing the > status of a patchset in a maintainer's tree), they at least have a lot > of tools that I think we should adopt more broadly: you mention: b4/lei and patchwork but they are not bug/issue trackers. the Linux kernel community is using https://bugzilla.kernel.org/; RedHat, Fedora, OpenSUSE and SUSE are also using Bugzilla Arch Linux have adopted GitLab issues Other alternavives: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_issue-tracking_systems ...or: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bug_tracking_system#Distributed_bug_tracking I personally like the idea that the bug/issue tracker is _embedded_ (integrated?) in the DVCS used by the project, Git in Guix case. For this reason I find Tissue https://tissue.systemreboot.net/ an interesting project for *public* issue/bug tracking systems, also because Tissue is _not_ discussion-oriented: this means that discussions are managed "somewhere else", because =C2=ABIt's much better to have a clear succinct actionable issue report. This way, the issue tracker is a list of clear actionable items rather than a mess of unreproducible issues.=C2=BB [2] Happy hacking!
