Considering how useful that sounds, I'm a little surprised

Heh, I didn't even know it was there! Thanks for the link!

I didn't even know that was out there, I never go to the issue
tracker, seems unwieldy and unfriendly to me..
I've to admit I don't understand that sentiment at all. It's
just
bugzilla, one of the many bug tracking systems out there. You
run into a
problem, you post a bug, describe the problem, show the code,
show the
results, explain what you expected to see, etc., and the devs
set tags
on it to indicate what kind of problem it is, give feedback,
discuss the
issue with you, and then post an update when the problem has
been
addressed. I don't see what's so unwieldy about it -- that's
what you
basically have to do to resolve an issue!

I used to be put off by using bugzilla as it seemed complicated.
Then I used it once and found it ridiculously simple. (Although I
still don't know whether P1 is more urgent than P5)
