I propose we use a psuedo-package in the BTS for summit isues. The BTS already exists and is a central piece of Debian culture, so it seems to me it would be a good fit.
I find it confusing and difficult to use the wiki[0] to track bugs and development requests for summit. Determining who made a particular request in order to contact them for more information is cumbersome, at best. It's also non-optimal for tracking discussion of a given issue. For development requests, it's not clear if something is just a random idea or annoyance someone had in a particular moment or something that a given subteam has discussed, reached consensus about and signed off on. For these reasons and more, I think we need a real ticketing system for Summit. Martin attempted to start a discussion[1] about a general solution for all of DebConf to replace rt. But, it didn't progress, yet. If there are suggestions for a general solution, please respond to that thread. I've discussed the BTS idea with a number of people on irc several times. I don't recall opposition and there were a number of people positive about the idea. I don't recall anyone wanting to try to use rt for this. I do recall several people definitely _not_ wanting to use the alioth tracker. Probably not everyone who might care was present at those times and my memory is definitely fallible. So, please, discuss. I propose to wait 1 week for discussion. If there is consensus that this is a good idea I'll take the action item to request the psuedo-package from the BTS admins, pointing to this thread as rationale and evidence of team support. If there is no response or significant disagreement, I suggest it be added to the 2015-02-02 meeting agenda.
