I think an issue-tracking system would be great.  And if there are  
other people besides John who want to take up individual issues, I am  
sure this would be good.

I will be happy with anything you propose in this direction.  Also I  
know that John is (I think) tracking ledger issues in org-mode - maybe  
we can use his setup in a file that is part of the git repo?

If we have reports continue to come in on the mailing list, then a bug  
tracker could use the message number on gmane as a reference number.   
So the discussions could stay on the list, but negotiation and  
assignment would happen in the tracker.

But - I have no experience with bug trackers, so anything anyone will  
put forward would be an improvement.
