Peter,
Well, as the person who handles pretty much all gerbv bugs, I guess
my response is "maybe". I admit the Sourceforge site isn't perfect, but
to be honest I've never been a big fan of Launchpad either...it's always
seemed a bit unintuitive to me.
So, I guess I would ask what would be the key benefits to switching
gerbv over? I've learned to live with the annoyances of the Sourceforge
system, so that I don't think Launchpad would really make MY life much
easier. But, if it has significant advantages other people would
appreciate and actually use, then I'd be open to the idea. I just worry
that people might fall into the trap of thinking "bug fixing isn't
really that fun...let's blame the tracking software for my frustration".
Cheers--
Julian
