Looks good to me.  If you have time to put list archive reference links in to
the items that correspond with bug reports, that would be even better!


Nice way of saying "we need a bug tracking system".  :-)))

Actually, my inbox has more open bug reports, most about topics which
are already listed in TODO -- several instances of cross-compile
failures, for example.  All in all about 300 messages (including
threads).

I have tried to start adding references, but gave up after awhile.

I'm sorry but I will only start to put them into some kind of structure
when guaranteed that I will not be the only one to tend it.  Which means
we're back at the BTS issue.  I'd like one where
- bug-libtool new-thread mails (minus spam) open such issues
- BTS is manageable by mail (or at least by a command line tool only)
- users may easily open up bug reports.

I kinda like Debian's BTS.  Have no idea though, how hard it is to set up.

The OpenLDAP Project uses jitterbugs, which is pretty braindead easy to set up. Symas now uses it as well. Ironically, jitterbugs was written by the Samba guys and now they've gone on to Bugzilla.

Anyway, we have jitterbugs set up to accept new reports via email. We also email our CVS commit messages into it. This way, if you put a problem tracking number in the commit log, that log message gets filed with the original bug report. If you have a webcvs setup you can also have links to the commit revisions included in the commit message, so anyone looking at a problem report can see the full history of the bug including the individual revisions that fixed the bug.
