We should use JIRA for it as Arun said. I will send separate email to committers with a bit better title to get acceptance for preparation of 0.7.3 version and create 0.7.3 version in JIRA so you can assign issues to it. Regards Piotr

Well, Once you create your jira user, You can choose among number of project you want to contribute. You have to filter the request to all the issues (that includes bug fix, improvement and patches etc ) Or else you can Browse Nutch project to see its issues.

As nutch 0.8.x aheading somewhere in different direction, We continue want to enhance and upgrade the functionality of 0.7.2 .
