This is a well known feature on this list :-) I think the CVS admins are doing a very good job scanning this list for patches, checking them out and submitting them and I am sure this is sometimes not an easy job. It is also easy to overlook a submitted patch when the list is very busy.
I would love to have a bugtracker (stop searching, there is none) but thats only a small part of the solution. We still need somebody who looks after the submitted bugs and patches. I have no solution for that.

You might go ahead and make this a perfect list of known bugs (and hopefully fixes). It's a wiki. > -- Anything else that folks ought to know?
