Ah, I see. You meant something different.
Just a bugzilla or mantis "Know issues" site. A bugtracker.
Couldn't ITP's be tracked also then?

Hmm, I'll think of it. I'd need shell access to sourceware then.

Very good idea. But I didn't setup bugzilla lately. Heard it got better.

FYI: For my company I've used bugzilla for some months but then I had to 
switch to mantis because my developers and first-level support (I've 
been head of IT dep) had been too stupid (or lazy) to use it.
After the switch to mantis it worked fine for most, even the marketing 
guys used it to change wordings on the website.
I believe it was the colors and the simplier layout.
