Upon reflection, it seems to me that this is entirely reasonable and might be a good option. There are two ways we can deal with this, use an index file like Itai said, or have our BTS ack as a dispatcher for others. Bugs would be submitted with the origin field included and then we can relay the bugs to other people as desired. > PS. I have no real opinion on this matter; I'm just offering some > alternatives.
