I also just discovered that there is a SourceForge Beta version, which
might be "more modern" and "more shiny". Personally I've had enough of
their trackers, but the improvements they are making might also be worth
looking at.

At least, we should come to a resolution with the "bugmail" problem we
now have with PCB and gEDA before considering moving gerbv as well.

(Launchpad sends bugmail "from" the user changing the bug - which gets
bounced by the mailing list if they are not subscribed. Not what we
want, and not something which is easily fixed without opening up the
mailing list to posts from non-subscribed people.)
