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. - Carsten
