This all makes a lot of sense to me, and would help a lot with the workflow. Unfortunately github pulls and issues really have nothing to faciltate a multistage workflow... e.g. where something can go through several steps. Indeed, pull requests don't have a status. It would be possible to

Great idea. Jeff Garzik was looking for a better mailing list solution than SourceForge, but assuming there isn't a clearly better solution I think we should create a strictly moderated bitcoin-bips@lists.sourceforge list. Let's stay away from SF.net or any mailman-controlled lists if at

I don't care much what exact list software/service is used, but lists.sf.net hasn't changed in years and is basically dying. Trashing all @yahoo accounts because ancient mailman does a MITM attack on people's email is no good, it's not any better than a web proxy that breaks every SSL connection.
