Do not underestimate the amount of work this entails. For example, the ASF
takes security very seriously. The reason why Tomcat did not have a bug
tracking system for a long period was over security concerns. Then after
security was broken - with the bug tracking system providing a vital link,
the bug tracking system used was removed. This was followed by another
long period whereby there was no bug tracking system - followed by an
offsite bug tracking system, finally followed by a new bug tracking system.

Those that are willing and able to contribute will be listened to. Those
that don't...won't.
