There is a problem here and it's depending on too many parties to keep
this project afloat. Anyone at any time should be able to leave the
project and not create any waves, something which we've been lucky
that Ted hasn't done yet. This also includes the git server which I
luckily is automatically backed up by everyone who uses it, master
wise at least, so it's less of a concern to me until it's gone (like
this weekend). Secondly, everyone chooses their own agenda, I choose
administration, this is one thing I can clearly do for this project
that's a plus. While I don't understand caring about losing closed
bugs (this is not much unlike the svn thing, but I don't know of a
distributed bug tracker ;)) I'll consider it a veto for now, but I do
expect to revisit this; This isn't a problem /now/ but when it becomes
a problem it will be too late to properly do something about it and
there is a possibility that we'll lose open bugs as well.
