As I've been against web-based bug-trackers before I'd like to present 
an idea which, imho, is a good compromise. I'm afraid that the number of 
false bug-reports will increase dramatically with the introduction of 
such a bug-tracker, eating up time of the volunteers. Also, as I 
mentioned, I really dislike using web-based tools.

If we had such a secretary who's not only familiar with the bugtracker 
but also familiar enough with git and it's development organization, 
he/she could work with the system, filter out the noise and mail real 
bugs or well-thought-through feature-requests to this mailing-list (with 
a link back to the bugtracker) with the full text of the bug and maybe 
his/her oppinion about it.

But maybe that's just duplication of work, in your eyes.

Greetings,
Jojo
