Re: Bug trackers

[Richard Stallman]

    The main issue is that it's set up right now for distributions, where
    you have thousands of packages and developers all working on their own
    separate little bits of the system and only release managers care
    about everything together.

Yes, that is true.

    What I kind of imagine is that bits of emacs which are relatively
    separate would end up with their own "package" and this mailing list
    (or the people responsible?) would be primarily tasked with fixing and
    resolving them.

The issue here is to consider using a bug tracker.  To change the way
we package Emacs would be a completely different issue (and I don't
think we should do so).

What leads you to raise the question of packaging in relation to
using a bug tracker?
