GNATS (bugs.apache.org), in short, sucks (that's an understatement). All I want is a usable web interface to manage our bugs. I have spent way too much time over the last few weeks fighting this horrible bug system and trying to clean up the entries.
So, who among those who would go through the bugs would veto the use of bugzilla? It may be crap, but I believe less so than GNATS. Pier already has bugzilla setup on nagoya, so it should be fairly trivial to add an httpd-2.0 project. Please don't tell me that bugzilla is insecure - it's already being used by the ASF - adding one more project isn't going to introduce any new holes. And, it may just make it so that mere mortals can triage the bugs that we need to address before 2.0 GA. Try to query via the website based on arrival-date. You can't. GNATS is completely useless. If we don't use bugzilla, I'd recommend just taking down GNATS as it is inherently unmanagable. Note that we have 2,365 OPEN PRs in GNATS right now. There just isn't a way to sort through these with this tool. -- justin
