First of all, bug tracking are completely separate beasts, and should
be considered separately. You can have either one without the other.
Second: I don't care as much about bug tracking, except for the
following case: if there is a bug tracker and I'm feeling bored and
want to contribute a little, I'll check it for something that I think
I can fix. If there is no such list, I won't do this, and I'll
contribute less. I do *not* follow the mailing list closely enough to
pick up bugs from there except by sheer chance, and this is not going
to change. I really don't care where or how the list is kept, so long
as there is a list.
Third, regarding testing. I'm a coder, I know some ELisp, I *love*
org-mode, and I would like to contribute. That said, I am completely
uninterested in doing manual QA for Org. I am not going to go
clicking around just to look for broken behavior. I have neither the
time nor the interest. However, if there is an automated test suite I
can promise you that a) I will run it before submitting any change I
make; and b) I will add new tests to cover any functionality I add.
However, you should take all of this with a grain of salt because I
haven't submitted any code at all yet.
