I thought lynx already has a project :-)

If the lynx developers think that handling bugs, fixes and patches is
easier
without a tracking system, then I am nobody to teach them otherwise.
I just feel more comfortable when my reports are stored in a tracking
system
and properly marked and easily found again.

I thought by having such a system, people would have more time working
on
lynx , since they would need less time on administrative tasks.

It was just a suggestion.
