I would like to know how it's inmplemented now. Make use of another
proprietary platform will not make it better - sooner or later it will be
another SF issue, so I believe it should be something under our complete
control instead.

I asked about own tracker yet many months ago, and I even offered
help with setup, and if you don't like me then I believe Jonathan
Thibault (FinboySlick) might also offer help.

Unfortunately lists.lxde.org is under supervision of Andrew Lee and
he is unavailable for many months due to life issues, so that server is
not maintainable in fact. So make someth...@lists.lxde.org is PITA. As of
mailing lists, there are only 3 active ones at SF:
- pcmanfm-develop@
- lxde-list@
- lxde-i18n@
I think pcmanfm-develop@ might be merged into lxde-list@ eventually, but
still that would require maintainable mailing list server first.

With best regards,
