What about using launchpad.net for bugtracking?
Bugreports and code reviews can be done via email so they could be cc:ed
to the traditional mailing list while they would show up at the same
time in the web interface.
Also, launchpad encourages more non-programming users to send in and
react on bugs and patches via the "answers"-interface.
By this, maybe at least some of the maintenance tasks can be distributed
more evenly among people who would occasionaly check out a few lines of
code but who don't feel familiar enough with lisp an a large scale.
Plus 1 for Launchpad.
We use it for maintaining VM and the collection of facilities on the site work
quite well. The main downside is its over-reliance on the web. The other is
that it uses Bazaar for version control, which is probably not as streamlined
as Git.
But Launchpad is an integrated project management site that allows you to
schedule milestores/releases, allocate bugs/issues to them, and makes sure that
everything gets done. It provides for a variety of roles such as bug
supervisor, driver, release manager etc., and allow for bugs/issues to be
allocated to various members of the team. For a large team of contributors,
which is what Org mode seems to be tending towards, it could be a big win.
You can check out the VM home page, https://launchpad.net/vm, to see how it
works.
Cheers,
Uday
