well as for just keeping track of -bugs I guess a very simple schema
would go pretty far:
* have some tool monitor the list and if it sees a new bug# make it a
ticket/bugreport
* if that bug number is mentioned in a commit close it
* provide a dashboard of:
a) bugs that never got a response
b) bugs that got a response but never have been mentioned in a commit
c) bugs that got mentioned in a commit but no stable release was done yet
* provide a trivial interface (either mail or simple web interface -
maybe in CF style) to make issues as "not a bug" or "not postgresql-core
product" (which seems to be the top two non-big related inquiries we get
on -bugs)
this is more or less exactly what I hacked up back in early 2008 based
on bugzilla (without actually exposing the BZ User-Interface at all -
just using it as a tracker core and talking to it using the API it
provides).
Independent of whether we want to do a full tracker or not anywhere in
the future we could at least start by prototyping with better automatic
monitoring of -bugs.
