So, I definitely agree that using Github / Gitlab does expose you to tracking messes and that is something to shun. I figured a self-hosted Gogs instance (which is already being hosted at https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode) would fix the "tracking" issue.
I think an actual issue tracker has merit to large projects. And I don't think simply saying "we've always done it through a ML" or "$FOO project is bigger than us and uses a ML" is good enough. $FOO project may very well increase efficiency, code quality, and/or participation by implementing an issue tracker. A project to consider then, might be some sort of system that interfaces with the ML (as well as a simple REST api so that issues could be submitted from inside emacs directly), that creates some sort of org-based issue tracker, and then ox-html exports to a static web page or pages. -- James Miller james.ryland.mil...@gmail.com
