Hi, I'm sorry that I overlooked this when it was posted. I now found it by luck. As it was a direct question to me I will answer it even if it might be a little bit outdated.

The Sun developers use three(!) different bug tracking systems. Most issues are collected in the OOo Issue Tracker. Only few issues are tracked in the former StarOffice bug tracker, most of them are issues created from the crash report database that collects the crash report data users have sent to us. The thirs bug tracking system is for Sun customer escalations, these are the issues with more than 5 digits. Sometimes we created duplicates in the OOo Issues Tracker for them, but this is not always possible as we have to respect the privacy of our customers. Though we have these three bug tracking systems, the fixes for all issues go into one source only - the OOo souce. StarOffice is using the same source code base as OOo.
