Thanks for that posting. Never run over it before. You seem to have written it at the same time as I started to actively collect DBTS links -- in 2010. I've started writing a blog posting about that topic, too, in June 2010, but I never finished and published it. So far I only have published my link collection (with some comments) is at https://delicious.com/xtaran/dbts Going through it, I noticed that Steve Kemp took his milli page offline. One more down. :-( Anyway, I'm surprised that there are quite some DBTS which are only in one of these two lists. > although more than five years old is more or less perfect and not > much has changed unfortunately.

Didn't know about gitissius before.

Indeed. Although I'd be already happy with a (possibly) static view-only web interface like e.g. the Debian BTS has (you modify bugs by e-mail), ticgitweb (IIRC) or https://bitbucket.org/sjl/cherryflavoredbugseverywhere/overview (demo site seems to no more exist) > These days synchronizing with some public issue tracker > (Git{Lab,Hub} issue tracker or something of that sort) is probably > essential. Which is what sd did and died, IIRC partially because of its complexity and huge dependency chain for all the different backends.
