'Kay.  That's reasonable.

Yeah, I saw the info on setting up a commit-notify mailing list, which I
would very much like to have in place for nmh (bugged Doug about setting one
up a few times over the years, but he never got it working).

Access to bug repository software is one of the biggest wins we can get by
switching from mhost.com.  Currently when somone sends a bug report I file
it in an "nmh-pending" folder, and hopefully look at it when I have time
(which over the past year or so hasn't been often), and presumably others
with write access do something similar, but a public bug database that
everyone could look at to see what bugs have been reported (and which have
been fixed) would be a BIG win.

Hopefully the Savannah software is set up so that a reported bug goes
immediately into the database with no administrator intervention.
