This means that whenever I encounter a bug I can simply click on a link to launchpad.net from my browser's toolbar bookmarks and make my report. This may then sit around for months on end, it may get dealt with by canonical if it is a packaging issue or something like that, or it may get forwarded upstream to the developers. This means that I can contribute to the project without spending too long away from my work trying to sign up for yet another bugzilla or mailing list. Because of this arrangement I have been able to report an awful lot of bugs I might otherwise have ignored, a good few of which have been fixed as a result of my reports. I fully understand that Canonical is a completely different kind of setup to the linux audio community, with a very different business model, paid employees and some good sources of funding. All the same, might it be possible to institute something comparable with regard to linux pro-audio, or would that be way more trouble than it's worth? One advantage of this might be that bugs could be assigned a priority relative to the linux audio project as a whole. Another might be that similar bugs affecting more than one project (such as poor integration with jack) could be dealt with together. If there is something to be said for this suggestion, might launchpad.net be a suitable host?
