It depends on how well the Bug Squad have been doing their job. I'd estimate that between 90% and 100% of bugs have been correctly entered into the tracker. I'm doing everything I can to increase the number of people involved in lilypond, including the bug squad. If you would like to volunteer to help with this, I'd love to have you on board. As an aside to the general policy discussion, I'm comfortable giving you permission to add items directly to the tracker. If you'd like to do this, please send me the name of your gmail account (creating a new one if necessary). > If the discussion takes a technical turn from the very beginning, > then we just discuss the patch through into the codebase, but > no trail in the tracker remains? Correct. Again, help acepted. > Hmm. I'd find it useful if we documented and kept trail of all > bugs in the tracker.

Well, the mailing list archives *are* available. But again, if we had more people on the Bug Squad, especially more technically-minded people, we could increase the scope of their coverage.
